The Relationship Help Doctor, Rhoberta Shaler, PhD, provides urgent and ongoing care for relationships in crisis. Even the United States Marines have called on her for help!
Dr. Shaler empowers the partners, exes, adult children, and co-workers of the relentlessly difficult, toxic people she calls Hijackals® to recognize emotional abuse, realize the effects, heal, and transform. She helps them see clearly, stop the crazy-making, and save their sanity. She defines Hijackals as “people who hijack relationships--for their own purposes--while relentlessly scavenging them for power, status, and control.”
Rhoberta offers the insights, strategies, and support you need to reclaim hope, confidence--and your sanity--when dealing with the constant uncertainty and jaw-dropping behaviors of Hijackals in your life, at home and at work. Author of sixteen books, including her Hijackal ebook series, she is the host of the popular podcast, listened to in more than seventy-five countries: Save Your Sanity: Help for Toxic Relationships. She is the former host of the Emotional Savvy channel on Binge TV Networks.
In this episode, we dive into the following:

  • Rhoberta's story - having toxic parents and later finding herself in a marriage with another toxic person
  • Enabling or excusing toxic behavior
  • "Toxic" as a buzzword
  • Toxic relationships with parents, friendships, and in the workplace
  • Warning signs and red flags to look out for
  • Cycle of abuse -- lovebombing / grooming, the 'gotcha' factor / devalue, hovering, & discard

Tune in to hear more from the wise expert herself!!
