What is Cassandra Syndrome/
Ongoing Traumatic Relationship Syndrome?

Cassandra Syndrome:

Cassandra Syndrome draws its roots from the Greek myth of Cassandra, embodying the modern psychological experience of individuals whose valid insights or warnings are consistently disregarded or disbelieved. It is an emotional journey of feeling unheard, isolated, and frustrated, impacting various aspects of life. In this program, we explore how to heal the toll of being dismissed despite having valuable perspectives, providing insights into the psychological and emotional dynamics of this unique syndrome. Typically, this syndrome is associated with the Neurotypical partner of someone that is Neurodivergent, but this phenomenon can occur in other various relationship dynamics.
