Survivors of Toxic Abusive Relationships

A Trauma Survivor Thriver’s Podcast

I speak with Dr. Jamie Huysman, the founder of the Toxic Abusive Relationship (TAR) Network and soon to be the Star Network Foundation. We discuss toxic relationships and how to recognize red flags, set boundaries, and take care of oneself. He discusses the foundation’s new “Star Survivors of Toxic Relationships” initiative and how content creators can become socially responsible by providing trigger warnings and resources for their audience. He also encourages anyone interested to join the foundation and help spread awareness and healing. We also discuss the recent shooting at a Georgia school, and the need for accountability in parenting. He also discusses how the United States is unique in its mass shooting capabilities and the need for attachment disorder education in parenting programs. He introduces TAR ANON, a free program that offers support and education for those in toxic relationships. The program aims to help people find emotional regulation and authenticity through group meetings
