Leaving an Abusive Marriage With Nothing Left | Covert Narcissism with Liz Tenuto, Part 2

What does it really take to leave an abusive marriage when your savings are gone, your credit cards are maxed out, and your body is still in survival mode? In part two of this conversation, Renee continues talking with Liz Tenuto, somatic educator, author of When the Body Speaks: How Somatic Healing Sets You Free , and known to millions as The Workout Witch. Liz shares how financial control kept her in her marriage for months after she discovered the truth, and what happened when she reached out for couples therapy and a therapist asked if she’d ever consider just leaving. Liz and Renee each share the moment they knew they were done, why it’s so hard to accept that someone won’t change, and how red flags can feel normal when you grew up around them. Liz also talks about why her body didn’t feel safe right away after she got out, how the tech abuse continued even after she left, and how posting one somatic exercise a day, at a time she could barely get out of bed, grew into The Workout Witch.
