Live Your Best Life!
I have followed Dr. Sherrie for many years. She has been instrumental in my healing along with a wonderful counselor who had experience with a BPD mother and enmeshed father. Every book, episode, and social media post Dr. Sherrie writes has been helpful to me. She gets it. If you’re living this with very difficult family dynamic, please subscribe for you and for everyone who loves you and wants you to be healthy.

A Game changer! Jaw dropping truth is spoken here!
When I first stumbled upon this podcast, I could not believe what I was hearing! It was everything I needed, finally, a voice, validating everything I have gone through since my childhood. Every episode speaks my truth, validates my feelings, an answers the hundreds of questions I have asked myself. Before finding this podcast, I was so confused, alienated, and nothing made sense. Now having listened to this entire series up to this point, the weight has been lifted, the truth is so clear and it all makes sense. All the pieces of the puzzle fit! And the gift of freedom from this toxicity is right in front of me. I am on the path and because of this podcast I have the courage and feel so empowered! So thankful for this!

Essential to going no contact
Going no contact with toxic family is one of the hardest things you can do. It’s agonizing, but this podcast walks you through every step. For many of us it’s the first time anyone has validated our emotions and experiences. I will be listening to this not just once, but multiple times because of the strength it’s given me.

Her books and podcast are incredibly helpful!
I have made the decision to go no contact with my father and his psychologically and emotionally abusive covert narcissist wife. She snapped him up when he was vulnerable after my mom died and has done all the toxic manipulations discussed here. I’m the scapegoat. My father has been brainwashed by her and has now begun to behave towards me like she has. I tried for 30 years to get along with her because I love my dad and he used to be a great dad before my mom died. This woman he married has been unleashing poison and toxicity on his kids (mostly me) for 30 years now. I’m done. This podcast and two books by Sherri Campbell are helping me feel validated and that I’m not crazy or imagining things. She is also helping me to understand toxic personalities and why I need to stay strong in my decision to go no contact. No-one should have to suffer through toxic family abuse. I’m glad I found her books and her podcast. I wholeheartedly recommend delving into both the podcast and her books if you’re currently in a similar situation.

Eye Opening
At first, I was a bit taken aback by some of the content surrounding personality disorders, particularly as I've been diagnosed with BPD due to my toxic family background. However, after over a year of dedicated healing work, I've come to realize that there's a broad spectrum within the disorder, and I now believe I'm on the milder end, while multiple family members fall on the severe side. This realization has given me a greater appreciation for Dr. Sherrie's work, and it's taken away the initial sting I felt when BPD was mentioned in her episodes. This podcast has been a valuable part of my healing journey, helping me understand and navigate the complexities of family dynamics and mental health. Highly recommended!

Life Changing
I have been struggling to find a therapist who truly understands estrangement- these sessions are like vitamins to my soul. Thank you!

Thankful
I am so thankful for finding your books and now the podcast. This has helped me more than you know. I have been dealing with a toxic family for years and finally I have a safe place. A place of no blame, judgement or of feeling “what’s wrong with me”. I have learned and applied many of the things you have opened my eyes and heart to. Thank you!

So many Aaha moments
I am the scapegoat position in my toxic family. My role was solidified Jan 2015 when I was finally able to quit drinking. 8+ years later, I have zoomed back and seen all the signs and behavior described in the many podcast episodes. I have two older sisters and a mom who hate that I am the truth teller and a dad who goes along to get along. It has been a long 8 year journey and my sisters have never met my almost 6 year old daughter. (Absolutely) Heartbreaking but necessary. My second oldest sister is the toxic member who has convinced my other sister and my mom, through lies and manipulation, that I am the problem. Worth noting that she is recently divorced and extremely successful in her field which adds to the difficulty as my mother can’t see her faults or lies. I am trying to maintain relations with my folks but proving harder and harder with each year. These podcasts have reinforced what I’ve believed but have never found anywhere else. Listening to episodes that don’t necessarily apply now have completed the picture of my toxic family system. Good luck all!

Healing
I have finally reached a no contact moment in my life with my emotional and physically abusive toxic family member. This has helped me understand deep rooted tiggers, emotional and mental issues I we through as a teen. With these sessions I am finally standing up for me and my parents ! I truely feel so grateful I stumbled upon Dr. Sherrie while experiencing this extremely difficult and painful process of no contact.

LOVE these Sherapy sessions!
I am so grateful I found Sherrie! There’s no way I could’ve made it through all this crazy dysfunctional family trauma without her! I only wish I could afford her private therapy! Maybe some day… Sherrie has THE BEST advice! I am very much looking forward to each new session she posts, they always come at the perfect time! I’ve also read her books and am currently putting them into practice! Love her so much!!

Dr. Sherrie, you are the best💕💕💕💕thank you for the message of all podcast.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ I m Maria Pacheco. I want you to know. All your podcasts are new lessons. I am taking advance of each episode. Thank you so much. You are the best.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👏👏👏

Very helpful
I found Sherapy on a whim searching for extra help dealing with a toxic family member. My toxic in law has only been a part of my life for 7 years, but toxicity has shown up only since my father passed. I cannot BELIEVE how the toxicity affected me and how fast things changed whithin that year. I was shaken, VERY confused, and I literally thought I was going crazy. These sessions really helped validate my feelings and my intuition about what was REALLY going on. Forever grateful. Thank you!!!!

You are not wrong and not alone
Cutting out toxic family members is one of the most devastating and yet necessary actions an emotionally abused person can take. It can be a hard and lonely path full of confusion. Dr. Sherrie is a survivor and brilliantly articulates the exact confusion, doubts and trauma victims struggle with. She is the clear and loving voice that validates your journey and reminds you that you are not alone and like her; you too will survive.

LOVE these Sherapy sessions!

Amazing!
This podcast is absolutely phenomenal! It has truly changed my life and is exactly what I needed at the present time. Thank you so much for this!

Thank You
Your words are literally art. All of this advice speaks to me so strongly. Thank you for making me feel less alone and stay focused!

So helpful!
Dr. Sherrie’s podcasts have been a staple for me. This one in particular has led me to a deeper understanding of setting boundaries and why they are so necessary.

So much help in so few minutes!
Finding Dr Sherrie on Instagram and subscribing to this podcast has been life changing. I am so grateful for her wisdom and support, and the “shares” from this community as well. My circumstances are such that I don’t feel comfortable sharing details with friends, they just would not understand. The small fee to subscribe to this podcast is nominal compared to the value the Sherapy brings to my life. Thank you so much Dr!

Empowering and insightful
This podcast has helped me and my partner immensely! Before discovering Dr. Sherrie I was living in a cloud of confusion and hurt. Nothing our toxic family did was logical and I was reeling for answers. Every episode is so spot on, I feel like she is speaking to me and our situation directly. She has given us insight, understanding, answers, and courage. I can’t thank her and recommend this podcast enough for someone who has toxic unhealthy family members. She has been a huge part in our healing!

Just WOW
This podcast has helped me through so much. It’s especially helped me realize that I don’t need to feel guilty to do what’s best for myself and my family. My mental health is priority and this podcast has helped me navigate through my family struggles. I’m now without a mother, father, and two older sisters. I’m grateful to still have a relationship with my younger brother who doesn’t judge me for doing what’s best for me and my own family. I’ve actually helped him navigate through some things with this podcast as well! At the end of the day, abuse is abuse, even from our own family. And to find someone who’s actually lived through it makes this podcast even more amazing. Please don’t pass this up. Pay the monthly rate, because those few dollars will save you a lifetime of pain. Life’s too short to not live it for yourself and to surround yourself with unconditional love and support.

On my way
I have already worked through a lot of this, but I did not know there were so many of us out here. I am reading Adult survivors of toxic families. ( I recommend strongly) I understand my family is toxic all three of my sisters my mother and both bio dad( who passed recently) and father who adopted me and my two sisters. I am now at a place where walking away witch I have recently blocked everyone. The question is do I need to let them know I am n longer accessible or just stay silent. Most of my family is in a different state. I broke away the first time over 10 yrs ago I’ve a horrific FB rant by my mother about my daughter . I recently reconnected with my older sister but quickly see I am still an option to them.

Stonewalling
AH HA moments .. stonewallers want to dodge connection; used to minimize my feelings; there will be resolution; it is used as a defense against from having to take responsibility!! There is no intention to repair anything. It has taken decades to internalize I will never get closure and to stop going to the stone wall. Thank you Dr. Sherrie for letting me know I am not alone.

This podcast is a must listen if you have toxic family/parents!
It’s so validating to know I’m not alone! Sherri’s books & podcast have been a lifesaver to me in dealing with a narcissist mother, brother & sister in law. Thank you, Dr. Sherri!

Wow
Just what I needed. I’ve felt pretty isolated about this topic and this has hit home in a wonderful way. Just so grateful.

Wish I found this sooner!
This podcast is incredibly helpful. So thankful for you!

Excellent podcast
Thank you for educating survivors of toxic families in an understandable way. Your practical examples and advice is so helpful. You are a blessing! Thank you for taking on this difficult and confusing topic!

So helpful and validating
Love this podcast! Extremely validating. I would love it if there were more scenarios given, examples, or hypothetical situations. It would help me understand how this plays out in real life. I would love to hear more stories as well from real people. Would love examples of things to say and how to respond.

Sherapy Podcast
I could not be more excited about this podcast. Dr Sherrie and her expertise on the toxic family truly changed my life. After reading her book my life finally made sense. I was so hopeful she would have a podcast soon!!!! Just the introduction gave me chills. Thank you, Dr. Sherrie!! I have no doubts this is a 5 star podcast❤️ Edit ⭐️ After listening to every episode multiple times I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Every time…every time I listen I am able to give myself more and more grace. I was full of self blame and insecurity and now I have grace. Thank you Dr Sherri!!

Podcasts and books
Wow, I am not a reader but I’ve read both her books (in days) and now subscribe to her podcasts. Her information is so relatable I feel she’s talking to me. I’ve gained so much insight and clarity from my situation that has weighed me down this past year and what I knew but wouldn’t admit my whole life. I’m now listening to her podcasts as I walk daily (taking care of myself)and gain a new appreciation for myself. Looking forward to hearing all her episodes!
