S2E45 The Damages of Fairy Tales with Mrs. Dee Dhillon: Managing Our Expectations Regarding Relationships

About Dee

Dee Dhillon was born and raised in the UK. Unbeknownst to her, she grew up in a household where she was dealing with narcissistic abuse and codependency, nurturing from a very young age the belief that she was not enough and that she deserved to be treated without any respect, let alone self-love, self-esteem, and self-confidence.

She went on to her first marriage which was a reproduction of her original household that she held onto for a number of years, giving birth to two daughters in the process. She mustered the courage to break free and moved out to what she thought would be a good and happy life without domestic abuse.

A few years later, she started the same kind of relationship all over again with her second husband for an additional 4 years, until she realized that she really had to work on herself, on healing her inner wounds and understanding the dynamics of her life experience that kept on coming back.

She learned all that she could about narcissism, codependency, mental health, family dynamics and so much more. She became a certified life coach who now facilitates women’s recovery from domestic abuse so that they can finally live a happy life on their own terms.
