Leaving the hidden abuse of toxic relationships

I interviewed Katrina Lillian Sorrentino. She shares her story of being sucked into an emotionally and psychologically abusive relationship with a man who may be a narcissist, sociopath, or something else. She's not sure, but he was toxic, deceptive, abusive, and controlling.

Her relationship trauma was so intense and extreme that she created a documentary about the experience and is now building an intentional community to support others involved in hidden abuse, the psychological impact, and ways to heal and get help.

• Opening up to life after divorce
• Disney princess syndrome warps what's acceptable
• Being Vulnerable and in transition and how you can be targeted
• Confusion and bliss intermixed with boundary crossing, psychological abuse, and trauma bonding creates a toxic cocktail of addiction to the person and the situation
• Connecting with people online who dated or were also targeted by her ex
• Being aware online and understanding that hashtags and abuse accounts can have predators
• Her documentary as therapy to connect with others and heal
• How she's using this experience moving forward in stories for TV/Film and as an activist
• The fear that held her back from asking questions that would've blown all of it wide open
• Her best friend's findings and how that led to her leaving
• Why she went back
• How her criteria for "romantic" has changed dramatically
• How she's healing and dating now
