The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast

The Be a Better You Podcast (formerly The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast) is hosted by Best Selling Author and Certified Rapid Reprogramming™ Coach, Allison K. Dagney.  As a young adult, I met a man who I believed was the love of my life. We got married quickly and brought three kids into the world. But something was wrong. I was miserable. And I blamed myself for all the problems in our marriage. What I didn't know, was that I was being emotional abused by who I believe is a narcissist. I decided it was time to break free and step into the person I was always meant to be — confident and free to live the life I’ve always imagined. 

I escaped, and I turned my personal story of transformation into a memoir. And now I coach women all over the world to help them transform their pain into empowerment, experience peace and joy, and start living life like never before.

Love the concept but gets super repetitive

The idea of changing your core believes to make long-lasting improvements is great. I appreciate the science the producer uses behind the ideas. However, after listening to 10+ episodes, the material gets repetitive and not many new ideas get introduced.

Thank you

I can’t afford therapy right now. I’m a single mom just trying to get through with very little support. This podcast helps me so much and I am changing my diet, exercise and thoughts! This is a great resource. I’m very grateful to have this while I’m on a waitlist for emotional abuse recovery therapy!

Game changer!

Allison’s podcast is a must listen if you’re ready to get “unstuck” and start living your best life. During our one-on-one sessions, Allison guides and teaches me techniques to reprogram my thoughts and heal my subconscious. Thanks to Allison, I now have the tools and techniques needed to retrain my brain and “rewrite” thoughts/old beliefs that are holding me back from peace. Thank you Allison. Forever grateful.

Great Podcast, wonderful author and person

Allison K. Dangey book “When Tears Leave Scars” helped me understand what it is like to live with a narcissist. I have recommended this book to others as a must read. This book explained what our love ones are experiencing at the hand of a covert narcissist. Why it is so confusing to the victim. The reason why many stay in the relationship for years. I was excited when Allison decided to start a podcast. I know she will help many women open their eyes and find the courage to live a narcissist free life. Her first 4 episodes were very helpful. Allison is on mission to help others. Something a narcissist cannot comprehend. I am hooked! Looking forward to your next episode.

A Fantastic Podcast for your Healing Journey!

From my first listen, I was hooked. Allison Dagney is the perfect host for this show. Not only does she bring with her the educational component to help others on their healing journey, she brings the experiential piece as well. She’s an exceptional communicator who shares her own wisdom and training while bringing in other experts as well. Episode Four was a phenomenal interview and conversation about the role our subconscious mind plays in our healing journey. I’m looking forward to more episodes from this podcast! Highly recommend you subscribe!

Excellent

Allison has helped me so much. So many times I questioned if it was me, made me see what I was going through. Her podcast and book, “When Tears Leave Scars” is phenomenal. It’s a book that I’m reading twice. Allison is very knowledgeable as she has experienced this first hand. I recommend her podcasts and book to everyone. You will not be disappointed.

Allison is Outstanding

Narcissistic abuse is one of the most detrimental and long lasting forms of abuse a person can experience. When I found out my X was a narcissist it opened up a world of life long pain and when I had previously felt completely alone - I found out how tragically common it is. Allison has a handle on healing from narcissist abuse that can help so many people. Her podcasts are easy to follow and her voice is soothing to listen to. If you or someone you know has been affected by a toxic or narcissistic relationship - I encourage you to listen to or share her podcast! In an ocean where you feel like you are drowning and can’t keep your head above water… Allison is a life raft equipped with GPS to help you find your way out and get to safety.
