We Specialize In Helping People Like You Overcome and Heal From Narcissistic Abuse! 

About Riley Thornock

My mother died from an autoimmune disease called systemic scleroderma at the young age of 48 years old.  I was only 20 years old when she died.  Because of my stepfathers covert narcissistic abuse, I was prematurely robbed of my mother.  My children have been robbed of their grandmother as my mother never had the opportunity to meet any of them.  My stepfathers first wife died of cancer and I watched my mother, over the 14 years that she was married to my father slowly collapse in on herself.  She was constantly sick while I was growing up. She dealt with debilitating migraines and back pain.  As she went from specialist to specialist, they could not help her.  The doctors diagnosed her with fibromyalgia, which is just a fancy term for, we don’t know what’s wrong with you but we understand you’re in pain.  She was a health professional, so she carefully and obsessively monitored her diet.  But no matter what she did, she slowly but surely got worse.  Her body swelled up as a reaction to the constant state of heightened awareness that she was enduring due to the consistent narcissistic abuse she was sustaining. 

While my stepfather played the role of the dutiful father who was beaten down and plagued with another sickly wife.  At one point, my step sister ironically pointed out that my mother was actually killing him!  In typical narcissistic fashion, he managed to flip the script.  During the last year of her life, she ended up in a psychiatric ward for a time, because the doctors could not figure out what was wrong with her, and she looked generally healthy.  My stepfather had literally convinced everyone that she must have gone crazy.  After the swelling, her body really started to fail completely, and she became a husk of her former self.  She suddenly lost all of her weight and shrunk, while her skin and organs began to harden and thicken.  She described her pain as needles piercing her constantly all over her body.  Her hands and fingers became useless immobile claws as she awaited the end.  Imagine what a victim of a black widow looks like after the deadly spider has managed to suck the life out of it.  That is literally how my mother looked when she died, a literal husk of her former beautiful self.  But instead of sucking her blood, my stepfather sucked her soul. He sucked the life force right out of her until her body mimicked what had happened to her soul.  

It  took me almost ten years after that before I began to understand what he was and what he had done.  By then, I had a bachelors degree in Marriage and Family Science from BYU and a Masters Degree in Professional Communication from WSU.  I was determined not to repeat the same patterns that my parents did, but unfortunately it wasn't that simple, as I did not fully understand the patterns.  I did countless hours of research and writing hundreds of pages documenting my interactions with him, attempting to understand the abuse that he had perpetrated against me, my mother, my family, and even his family.  It was only when I came across narcissism, specifically covert narcissism, that all the pieces of the puzzle began to come together.  I began to understand the cycles of abuse that my mother and I had endured over the many years of interacting.  I also began to understand, to my horror, how I was inadvertently repeating some of the same toxic patterns with my own wife Rebecca.  My main example growing up was a narcissist, so it is no wonder why I adopted some of his methods and behaviors.  When I started to understand that my own wife was beginning to experience some of the same struggles that my mother experienced, I’ve done everything in my power to change and right the ship.  Since then, we've worked together to heal the trauma that both she and I have experienced as result of narcissistic abuse.  

Together my wife and I have developed this program to benefit you.  We have dedicated ourselves to help, heal and inspire women like you to rise up, heal, and understand your full value! While this course is also for men, and there are women abusers too, statistically, many more men suffer from narcissism than women.  Simply by the mere fact that men are more driven by winning and dominating others than women are, who are drawn more naturally to nurture and cooperate with others.  Making women the more natural targets of a narcissist.

Our program is designed to heal both your mind and your body from the prolonged narcissistic abuse that you have sustained.  While traditional therapy is helpful in identifying the root of the problem and creating proper frameworks around the trauma, it fails to properly address the physical trauma that you have sustained and stored in your body, through being in a prolonged state of fight and flight.  Just like a war victim with PTSD, their body’s have moments where they believe that they are still in the middle of the war.  Your body is doing the same thing, because you have been in a prolonged war. A war that is designed to destroy your body and your spirit.  Because your cortisol levels have been so high for so long, you are burned out, which is why you are experiencing many other health problems.  This is why my mother was never able to fully heal, because she never successfully addressed the cause of her problem that was effectively slowly poisoning her.  It didn’t matter what other treatments she got, because ultimately, she never managed to free herself from her narcissist even though she tried

I will do everything in my power to help you avoid the same fate as my mother.  We will work together to address the root cause of your trauma as well as work to completely heal both the emotional and physical aspects associated with the abuse you have sustained.  So that you can enjoy a rich, fulfilling and long life with your children and your grandchildren.  Don’t allow your narcissist destroy you and steal your joy and your life.  Begin your healing journey today with us.
