You Escaped, And Now the Healing Can Begin . . .

Being on the receiving end of emotional abuse is a life-altering and emotionally devastating experience that no one should have to go through. Most victims are left with a nasty case of anxiety disorder, depression, PTSD, shame and emotional distress. The trauma from the abuse can leave invisible scars of pain that run deep and affect your identity and self-esteem, along with the way you think and your ability to process emotions and heal.

This follow-up and companion book to Surviving a Toxic and Abusive Relationship is written with compassion, sensitivity and the personal experience of a survivor of almost four years of severe emotional abuse. It skillfully addresses the challenges that most abuse victims face including denial, self-blame, anger, loss of identity, grief, guilt, shame, regret, forgiveness and all of the other conflicting emotions, questions and painful decisions that stand in our way to fully healing.

You will learn that the abuse was not your fault and that you are not alone in your recovery journey. You will discover that there is a Father in Heaven whose heart broke for you while you were suffering and uniquely wired you to withstand and survive the abuse. You will grow more confident and re-discover just how strong and resilient you actually are. This book will help you be intentional about your healing, and enable you to recover and experience the life you desire and truly deserve.
