About This Workshop

It’s rarely over when it’s over in a toxic relationship, especially if you share custody or must stay involved with an abuser.

But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do! In this workshop, we cover everything you need to know, starting with exactly why no contact and grey rocking are the most effective ways to deal with a toxic person still in your and your family’s lives, when and how to use these techniques and specific things you can do.

When you understand what “no contact” and the “grey rock method” are, you can learn how to protect yourself, not get dragged back again and again into the drama, and effectively regain control of your life.

We’ll make sure you’ll learn why emotional detachment is so essential in moving forward, and motivate you to take action (to restore your physical and emotional health).

Workshop Host

Co-Founder

Lisa Johnson

My toxic marriage lasted for nearly two decades, and I had no idea what I was actually dealing with until after I got out!

I am a state-certified domestic violence advocate and trained crisis counselor, with a background in education. I was able to use these skills to successfully represent myself in court for the past few years since the divorce, battling an ex who has disobeyed multiple court orders without consequence (yet!).

Even though I live the “warrior” lifestyle, I’ve managed to balance that with sole parenting my two nearly adult children, running a business in fashion, and loving life with Chris, who makes me laugh more than anyone.

FAQ

  • How long will this take? I don't have free time.

    How much time are you already spending on worrying, arguing, Googling your partner's irrational behaviors, and losing sleep? Each of our course modules is divided into bite-size chunks, which you can listen to at your convenience (usually totaling less than two hours.)

  • I'm just looking for information. I think I can get through this myself.

    We got through it on our own, but we suffered unnecessarily along the way. Our goal in launching this program is to use our expert knowledge to get you through it a lot faster, cheaper, better, and with less pain than if you try to do it on your own.

  • Do you have a mobile app?

    Not yet, but the learning platform that BTGO's Sanity School is built on is fully responsive for mobile devices and should offer a great learning experience on any device.

  • Why do you charge for your workshops?

    There's a ton of free information available on the internet, some good, some not so good. We strive to do the best job of cutting through all the noise and giving you the most helpful guidance and support that you'll find anywhere. This is a full-time effort for us, and we simply need to earn an income from it. With all of that said, we feel that our workshops are priced very reasonably and affordably, and are a great value.
