Being on the receiving end of emotional abuse is a life-altering and emotionally devastating experience that no one should have to go through. The trauma from the abuse can leave invisible scars of pain that run deep and can affect your identity and self-esteem, along with the way you think and your ability to process emotions and heal. The fact is that many mental and emotional abusers are really, really good at what they do. Most of their victims don't have a clue that they are truly being abused until they have been damaged in ways that they often have difficulty recovering from. This is because in addition to the physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, eating and sleeping disorders that develop over time, most victims are often left with a nasty case of (PTSD), anxiety disorder, depression, shame and emotional distress. You don't just get over those overnight. And the longer you are exposed to the toxic behavior and abuse, the longer it takes to heal from it. 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. Greyson James 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 discover the brokenness in your abuser that caused them to treat you (and probably others before you) so horribly the way they did. You will learn that there is no excuse for their toxic, abusive and dysfunctional behavior, but you will gain a better understanding of it. 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.
