"Every beginning starts with truth."

Born from breaking points — built for healing.
The Rift with Rick was created from lived experience. It’s where truth meets transformation — helping survivors recognize coercive control, set boundaries, and learn how to trust themselves again.
Here, education meets empathy — and you’re guided step by step through real tools, relatable stories, and trauma-informed insight.

Because healing isn’t linear — it’s layered.
Discover a path designed for survivors, built with compassion and clarity:

Real experiences. Real strength.
Each story shared in The Rift carries the echo of someone who once felt unseen — and found their way back to light.
Read stories of survival, awareness, and transformation from others who understand what it means to reclaim power after control.

What you practice, you heal.
Download trauma-informed tools designed to help you ground, reflect, and grow — from worksheets that guide boundary-setting to exercises that rebuild trust and clarity.
Your recovery isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress.

Every series on The Rift with Rick is designed to help you see the unseen — how trauma, identity, and emotion shape the way we love, connect, and protect ourselves.
Through grounded psychology and human storytelling, you’ll uncover the patterns beneath pain and the science behind self-discovery.
These explorations go beyond theory — they bridge insight with healing, reflection with growth.
Each series invites you to learn not just about others, but about yourself.
