On Relationship and Recovery
By Patricia Evans
Verbal Abuse Survivors Speak Out draws upon the experience of thousands and offers courage, wisdom, and a road map for healing and recovery.
Verbal Abuse Survivors Speak Out tells
you:
* How verbal abuse can transition to domestic violence and battering;
* How abusers control their partner's space, time and resources
* How one’s connection between the inner and outer world
——between action and result——disintegrates and how the partner
may then feel paralyzed and unable to act
* The categories of abuse women experience most
* How to cope with a person who abuses you
* How to recover the strength and confidence lost from abuse
* What to watch out for in new relationships
* How to go beyond abusive relationships
* How to recover the strength and confidence lost from abuse.
* How to look for a therapist
* How to start a support group.
* How to find help: An extensive appendix lists agencies in every state.
Verbal Abuse Survivors Speak Out presents a perspective on surviving verbal abuse without blaming the survivor. This is important because some uninformed people have claimed that the person who experiences abuse is somehow at fault for having been in the presence of an abuser.
Thousands of readers have told me that even when they know what verbal abuse is, after reading my first book, The Verbally Abusive Relationship, they wonder why they still feel paralyzed, confused, depressed and all stirred up inside long after experiencing the abuse. These feelings are explored and answers are found in, Verbal Abuse Survivors Speak Out. A large section on recovery, explains how to recover from from verbally abusive relationships--one step at a time.
