“My Ex Told Me I Don’t Make Enough Money to Be With Him…But I Can’t Stop Thinking About Him”

There are bad exes...and then there are harmful exes. Unfortunately, this discussion is focused on the latter. Our listener was stuck in a relationship with a person who, along with his family, went out of their way to rob her of her self-worth. Now that she’s single and free, she’s having trouble picking up the pieces from her time with this man. All she wants is to be able to move on. And, heads up: this episode contains discussion of abuse. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7 at 800-799-7233 if you or a loved one are in need of help.

Our guest Dr. Courtney Tracy is a USC-trained licensed psychotherapist and doctor of clinical psychology in California. She is also a multi-award-winning mental health content creator known as The Truth Doctor with a global online community of over 2 million people. She hosts a hit YouTube Show called The Truth Doctor Show and hosts her own podcast called Human First with Dr. Courtney, where she gets real with her listeners about what it’s like to be a therapist with mental health disorders.
