Welcome
Hello, I’m Ella Kim Johansen, a writer passionate about helping individuals heal from emotional abuse. I’m excited to announce the launch of my author page in conjunction with the release of my debut book, Healing from Emotional Abuse: Recovery from Gaslighting, Narcissistic Abuse, and Other Toxic Relationships. This website is designed to be a hub of supportive content.
My aim is to provide a space where you can access resources such as free meditation links and recommended reading. My focus is on healing from emotional abuse, and I look forward to expanding this platform with future books that delve deeper into this critical subject.
My Journey
I have been exactly where you are now. I know firsthand what it is like to be ensnared in
a toxic relationship that erodes your sense of self. I found myself trapped in the
tumultuous throes of more than one emotionally abusive relationship.
These harrowing experiences shattered my self-confidence and self-esteem. Thankfully, I found the courage to break free from those toxic bonds, reclaiming my voice, strength, and self-trust along the way.
This personal journey fuels my fervent desire to guide you toward your paths of healing, freedom, and empowerment. I aim to provide you with the knowledge you need and a repository of resources to combat this growing epidemic. My books and website are designed to be beacons of hope, encouraging and inspiring you to embark on your own transformative journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery.
After gaining my Master’s in Business (MBA) and a Postgraduate degree in Clinical Psychology, I spent significant time coaching others, with a special focus on relationships. My strong academic background and experience form a solid foundation for my mission to help you gain the tools you need to thrive.
I am enormously grateful for my extraordinary life. I am blessed to have a life enriched by adventure and the ability to indulge in serene beach escapes and immersive safari experiences.
On a day-to-day level, I gain enormous strength from the tranquility of swimming laps, the mindfulness of yoga and meditation, and the pursuit of knowledge across various domains. I have an insatiable curiosity and a penchant for academic pursuits, and I hope to never stop learning and growing. One day, I hope to finally master the art of surfing.
“What an absolute pleasure It was working with you, Ella. I began my journey with a certain goal in mind and over the course of 3 months the discoveries I made about myself were on a much deeper level and more significant than the initial goal. Using your qualities of wisdom, patience, compassion and abounding knowledge you created a safe space for me to realise my potential and celebrate it joyously. Your intuitive nature served as a guide of when to challenge me and when to support. I appreciate that immensely. The journey to success is congruent with the relationship with self and you shone a light on that in a big way. I am thankful to you from the bottom of my heart. May you continue to shine your light for others as you did for me.”
