Constantly walking on eggshells??
If you are living with someone who:
• always makes you wrong
• makes everything your fault
• never takes responsibility for anything
• never sincerely apologizes
• puts you down or belittles your feelings
• isolates your from friends and family
• showers you with love when they do something awful, and then does that awful thing again
• manipulates social situations with family and friends so they get their way... all. the. time.
• insists on controlling all the finances
• repeats the same fight over and over
• won't be direct or fully truthful, or worse, • just lies all the time
...then, you need a place and people where you can feel safe, heard and seen.
Emerging Empowered within or from a toxic relationship is the goal.
Our Emerging Empowered Community is the answer.
Find your voice, reclaim your power, rebuild your life.
Toxic relationships are abusive relationships.
If you’re with a Hijackal, have left one, or were raised by one, this low-cost access to resources, insights, skills, strategies, and support can help you get on track to healthy relationships.
From Dr. Shaler:
"I know what you're going through... and Emerging Empowered is where you'll find your people."
"I have lived this experience of relationships with Hijackals... in every way. Parents, partners, exes, co-workers, bosses... I learned why I kept finding myself in relationship with these really challenging people, and have now dedicated my work to helping YOU move through that learning more quickly."
Dr. Rhoberta Shaler, 1945-2024.
WHY DID Dr. Shaler CREATE THE EMERGING EMPOWERED COMMUNITY?
It’s a great question.
The simple answer is that, for many reasons such as time, relationship, or financial restrictions, not everyone can access private, one-to-one sessions.
It became clear to her that providing another way for those struggling to break the bonds of emotional abuse to receive the valuable information and experience that she had to share, was necessary.
We want to make sure you have all the insights, information, support, skills, and strategies you need to help you with your journey.
The Emerging Empowered Community was a very personal endeavour for Dr. Shaler, because:
- She truly cared about the safety and well-being of all her clients and fans.
- She knew how good it feels to have a lifeline when you feel alone with the pain, exhaustion, chaos, and confusion a Hijackal is so good at creating.
- She had been in your shoes, having had Hijackal parents and partner, so she really knew what you're going through, and what you need to do.
- She knew how much it helps to get the best insights, strategies, and support when life seems exhausting and you're not sure what to do.
- She understood that it can feel overwhelming or hopeless when the help you need feels out of reach

Some agreements about joining the community...
That is why we have chosen to provide a private sanctuary for you. This is a place for people who are struggling in relationship with a Hijackal - a relentlessly difficult, toxic person.
If the Hijackal is your spouse, your ex, your parent, your boss--or, someone you feel you HAVE to communicate and spend time with, or are not ready to release from your life--then, you are in the right place to get support.
Choosing to become a member also indicates that you have read, and understand, the disclaimer below.
Dr. Shaler reserves the sole right to decline membership to anyone she feels would be unsafe or create an uncomfortable environment. Dr. Shaler may choose to have a conversation with you before allowing entry to the Emerging Empowered groups.
To become a member of our Community, you must agree to abide by the following principles.
Members who choose not to conduct themselves in a manner appropriate to this space will have their membership terminated with no notice and no refunds.
Agree to complete confidentiality - what happens in the circle stays in the circle
Agree to a culture of mutual respect, politeness, empathy and support. Members who demonstrate they are unable to have respectful and supportive dialogue will be ejected without discussion nor refunds.
Agree to only disclose what you are comfortable discussing with others. Do not simply blurt out a rant and then decide you shouldn't have said that. Be thoughtful in your sharing.
Agree to use non-violent language. This is a safe place, and many folks may be recovering from highly-traumatic situations and relationships. Be considerate of your fellow members.
Agree to respect the experiences of others. If you think what you want to share could be triggering to someone else, please write in CAPITALS, 'TRIGGER WARNING' or 'TW:' at the top of your post. You are welcome to post whatever is important and concerning for you, and by doing this, others can choose to read it or not.
