Loving Someone Who Shoves You Away Yet Demands That You Stay [On-demand Webinar]
Seeing hidden emotional abuse that keeps you feeling anxious and unsafe.
About this webinar
There are many many sides to toxic relationships, and it's not until we begin to recognize that they ARE toxic relationships that we can start to change our approach, and heal our own selves.
This webinar and supporting content will give you insights into relationship realities you have probably experienced, which is what got you here in the first place.
- Do you feel like you're constantly to blame for every bad thing that happens between you and your partner (or maybe parent)?
- Are you put down, ignored, belittled or told your opinion doesn't matter?
- Do you get the silent treatment if they don't get THEIR way?
- Have you been threatened with violence?
- Have you been cut off from family or friends, or finances?
- Have you been told you're crazy when your memory of an incident doesn't match theirs?
These are all indicators of emotional abuse. If you recognize any of them... it might be time for a hard look at what's really going on. The deep stuff.
You deserve to live free of emotional abuse
In this webinar, you will learn:
No one deserves to be abused, particularly you!
When you're with a Hijackal you feel anxious and unsafe most of the time, while hoping it's going to get better.
Emotional abuse can be hard to see, especially as it gets worse over time. It sneaks in, often following what you hope is a show of love that turns into blame and shame.
Sometimes it is disguised as a kind gesture, designed to pull you in, so it hurts more when you're rejected. You may be so used to it, you don't notice that it's become something entirely else: persistent emotional abuse.
See it clearly now, and start making changes to reclaim your power and rebuild your life.

What's included
Instructor
Dr. Rhoberta Shaler
(1945-2024)
Dr. Rhoberta Shaler was a champion for the partners, exes, and adult children of the relentlessly difficult, toxic people she called Hijackals®—to save their sanity and stop the crazy-making. She created the term so we'd have a way to talk about the patterns, traits, and cycles of relentlessly difficult people without psychological labels. She defined Hijackals as “people who hijack relationships--for their own purposes--while relentlessly scavenging them for power, status, and control.”
Why?
Because she had been there, too. Dr. Shaler had a Hijackal mother and a passive-aggressive father. As happens for most people who start that way, she became a Hijackal magnet. Oh, the pain, disappointment and... learning!!! Love-bombed by men who turned out to be looking for control, bosses who thought they could manipulate and manage in damaging ways, and even friends willing to take advantage, she experienced them all. Not good.
Through all that learning, she found a path that allowed her to reclaim her power from people like that; to see them from a distance before becoming engaged with them. It was a long road, and a lot of people... but what she learned, and the strategies she developed for herself, kept her sane, safe and sure it wouldn't happen again!
The upside of coming from Hijackals was that she was driven to get away and to understand. Trained as a psychologist and mediator, Dr. Shaler turned her attention to figuring out why there had been no help when she needed it, and what that help could have looked like to be effective. Understanding the sneaky nature of emotional abuse led her to a Ph.D. and ongoing work and research into the ways that emotional trauma impacts both the Hijackal and their prey.
Rhoberta made it her mission to help people recognize the signs of emotional abuse, realize the impact on their lives, and have the paths to recovery. She shared that with clients and members worldwide. Dr. Shaler left this mortal plane in April 2024, knowing she had fulfilled her mission, and now, we continue to spread her mission.
This course catalogue was started by Dr. Shaler and continues to be available as a legacy of learning, managed and maintained by her daughter and career-long business manager, Kera.
