Oh my god! your video is incredible and enlightening.. I feel secure again within myself.  

I stumbled (by no accident) across your podcasts 2 years ago after my X had raged and then was giving me the usual silent treatment. I credit all your sound advice for my finally understanding and getting out of the most abusive relationship I’d been in. I’ve only been with Hijackals. I’m blown away how much more discerning I am of future Hijackals. I spot them immediately and don’t have the urge to help them. Your work has transformed my life.

Ah ! Because of this page and your help . You’re an angel, honestly. I would still be doing the same thing I was doing a year ago if I hadn’t met you.

Thanks to you, I saw a pattern and realized I was being manipulated. After a very abusive day yesterday I ended the relationship. Thank you for the strength my friend.

Woah, a bone chilling presentation!! Wish I’d heard it about 10 years ago!

All I can say is OMG. 29 years. I cried with relief and understanding and validate I am not crazy or hard of hearing.

Hey!! Thank you so much for your podcast!! Your genuine care of others in taking the time to generate the information in this podcast emits itself so strongly!!! It has brought me to tears, helped me to identify behaviors, and finally given me the ability put a name with a face! I would love to maybe speak with you one on one at some point. …thanks again!  💕

As foretold, my ex got busy trying to engage me on Christmas Day. Thank you, Dr. Shaler for the heads up. Because of this page and your help, I was able to have a wonderful Christmas and not get sucked in ! That’s progress.

I found Dr. Shaler to be very knowledgeable with many solutions to relationship challenges.

I love you Rhoberta Shaler; you have given me such power, inner strength, wisdom and invaluable insights. Thank you!
