Out of The Fog
The early stage. Naming what actually happened, recognising the patterns, and stopping the gaslighting of yourself.
Take the free 2-minute quiz and find out exactly which stage of healing you're in — and the next clear step to move through it.
Built by Marcela — DV and narcissistic abuse survivor turned advocate, now guiding 269K+ women through their own healing
Free. No credit card. No spam.
You replay the same conversations over and over, trying to figure out what was real and what was manipulation.
One minute you know what happened was wrong, the next you're wondering if you're the problem.
You've physically left or pulled away, but emotionally you can't seem to fully move forward.
The people around you don't fully understand, and explaining it just makes you feel more alone.
You want to heal but you don't know where to start, or whether what you're doing is even working.
Every woman walking out of a toxic relationship moves through these three stages. The quiz tells you exactly which one you're in.

The early stage. Naming what actually happened, recognising the patterns, and stopping the gaslighting of yourself.

The middle stage. Untangling the trauma bond, stopping the replaying, and breaking the pull back in.

The final stage. Rebuilding trust in your own perception, your own choices, and the version of you that existed before all this.
2 minutes. Honest answers. Real clarity.

I'm throwing in two extras because the quiz on its own isn't enough — you also need a next step.

WHAT YOU GET
Marcela is the founder of Beyond the Bruise, where 269K+ women come to make sense of toxic relationships, break the cycle, and find their way back to themselves. A DV and narcissistic abuse survivor herself, she built the work she wished had existed when she was in it — clear, honest, and free of the platitudes that keep women stuck. Her three-stage framework — Out of The Fog, Break the Loop, Back to Yourself — has become the spine of how thousands of women navigate their own healing, and the quiz is where it begins.
Yes — the quiz, your personalised stage report, and both bonuses are completely free. No credit card, no upsell hidden in the next page.
You answer around eight short questions about where you are right now — how you're feeling, what's coming up, what you're stuck on. The quiz then identifies which of the three stages you're in and sends you a personalised report by email.
About two minutes. There are no trick questions and no right or wrong answers — just honest reflection.
That uncertainty is one of the most common experiences in this space, and the quiz is designed to meet you exactly there. You don't need to have it all named to take it. If anything in your relationship has felt off, this is for you.
No. You'll get your stage report, occasional follow-up emails with resources matched to your stage, and that's it. Unsubscribe any time with one click.
The first 20 quiz-takers each month get a booking link in their stage report email. If the spots fill, you'll be added to next month's list automatically.
If you're currently in immediate danger, this quiz isn't the right starting point — please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233) for immediate support. The quiz is for women who are safe and ready to start making sense of what happened.
One email. Instant access. The clarity you've been looking for.
