The Restore Experience
You have survived being recruited into another person's distorted reality, defenses, and toxicity. Together we will confront reality because insight restores choice.
Restoration after losing yourself in someone else's reality.
Restore is a 3-month psychoanalytic growth program designed to help you understand what entangled you, what kept you there, and how to move toward restoration after betrayal, divorce, family conflict, workplace dysfunction, and other disorienting relationships.
Together, we explore the unconscious dynamics, defenses, and relational patterns that shaped your experience. We examine how these patterns affected your sense of self, what made the relationship so compelling, and how to reclaim your capacity to think, feel, choose, and relate differently.
Through psychoanalytic education, community, coaching, and guided reflection, Restore helps you move beyond survival and toward a life of greater clarity, self-trust, freedom, and purpose.
Hear about Restore from Dr. Danback.
You may be struggling with questions like:
- "I don't know what's me and what's them."
- "I don't trust myself."
- "How did I end up here?"
- "Why did I stay?"
- "Why do I keep attracting this?"
- "Why do I still feel attached?"
- "Why am I still trying to make sense of what happened?"
- "Why do I feel stuck between anger, grief, and hope?"
- "How did I lose myself in someone else's reality?"
Restore may be right for you if:
- You are recovering from divorce, betrayal, or narcissistic abuse.
- You feel stuck repeating the same painful patterns.
- You understand what happened intellectually but still feel trapped emotionally.
- You are successful on the outside but disconnected from yourself on the inside.
- You are ready to stop surviving and start redesigning your life.
Reorient. Realign.
Redesign.
Now it's time to reorient, realign, and redesign. Trauma leaves us disoriented and confused. RESTORE uses a structured, psychoanalytic framework to move you from disorientation to redesign — with Dr. Danback leading every step.
Reorient
Understand what happened — and why — through a psychoanalytic lens that finally makes sense of it all.
- Emotional, physical, and family assessment
- Analyzing the reality of narcissistic abuse, betrayal, and high-conflict dynamics
- Acceptance and agreement to change your path and purpose
Realign
Release the anger and shame you have been carrying. Rebuild your sense of deservingness. Quiet the critical inner voice.
- Deep contrition — honest reckoning with what has been harmful
- A committed process of clearing and release
- Rebuilding your relationship with yourself
Redesign
Reconnect with your purpose. Reprioritize what matters. Move forward into a life with more peace, freedom, and joy.
- Career, boundaries, and lifestyle redesign
- Creating a new way of showing up in the world
- Moving forward with intention

Dr. Kristine Danback,
Ph.D.
Dr. Danback is a licensed Clinical Psychologist, Divorce Coach, and Expert Witness specializing in interpersonal conflict and narcissistic abuse. She could not continue to bear witness to the suffering of those in high-conflict relationships without expanding her work.
RESTORE is the result of that calling — a program that combines her clinical expertise, psychoanalytic depth, and the power of spiritual community to help people do the work that shifts a life.
Dr. Danback leads every RESTORE session personally. She brings her Ph.D., her heart, and her spirituality — and she brings her team. This is a boutique, highly curated practice, and RESTORE reflects that.
You won't do this alone.
RESTORE is built on the conviction that meaningful growth doesn't happen in isolation. There is something profoundly healing about sitting with others who are doing their own work — asking hard questions, confronting difficult truths, and choosing growth anyway.
When that kind of community forms, something remarkable happens. People begin to feel less alone. More understood. More courageous. More themselves.
What RESTORE asks of you
- Show up — and you cannot fail
- Your life is the program
- The more you put in, the more you get out
- Emotional discomfort is normal — and desired
- You are not perfect, not whole, not complete — and that is exactly right
- There will be humor, and there will be joy
- You get to celebrate all that is good in your life
- You are responsible for your actions and what follows

The Retreat.
