October 24–26, 2025 | Dana Point, California
A 3-day live experience to let go of what almost broke you, remember who you are, and walk away with unshakable self-trust.
You know the relationship was toxic. Maybe you’ve left. Maybe you’re still in contact. Maybe you’re finally admitting it’s over… but it doesn’t feel over.
You second-guess yourself. You still miss the highs. You crave peace but don’t know how to feel safe.
This weekend is for the version of you who knows it’s time.
Not just to leave him behind—but to come back to yourself.
Lisa Sonni, relationship coach and abuse recovery expert known for her raw honesty, direct coaching style, and deeply relatable survivor story who’s helped thousands of clients break their trauma bond and rebuild their lives.
Dr. Peter Salerno, licensed retired psychotherapist, trauma researcher, and expert in somatic therapy and EMDR, who’s helped clients move beyond trauma using the science of how healing really works.
“What if I’m still in contact with him?”
“What if I haven’t told anyone yet?”
