Tracy Scott, the founder of TrustedSpace, understands these dynamics not only through professional study, but through personal experience. After recognising that she had been in a manipulative romantic relationship, she still found herself pulled back time and time again. Like many people in similar situations, the emotional attachment, confusion, hope, and repeated promises made it difficult to walk away completely.

It was only when other women, who had also recognised the manipulative behaviour, reached out and shared their perspectives that she was able to fully cut ties and begin the process of healing.

During her recovery journey, she committed herself to learning more about narcissistic abuse, trauma, emotional manipulation, and healthy relationship dynamics. She completed relevant courses and training so that she could use both her personal insight and professional knowledge to support others who are going through similar experiences.
