Are you forced to smile and justify your relationship to everyone – even yourself? Struggling with self-doubt, shame, but feeling hopeless? It’s not your fault and you have nothing to be ashamed of. You wouldn’t blame a car accident victim, and you can’t blame yourself. The Psychology of Abusive Relationships is your guide to understand exactly how you ended up in an abusive relationship no matter who you are. Get inside the head of your abuser. Abuse – it’s a vague term that seems like it would always happen to someone else. The Psychology of Abusive Relationships will unveil the dark dynamics that are created when you cross paths with an abuser, and how you are dragged into their toxic orbit. You’ll hear the stories of strong, confident people – the people you would never expect – that were reduced to husks of their former selves and exactly how it happened and how you can avoid it. No more fear and walking on eggshells. If your partner continually hurts you and makes you feel unlovable, and makes you think you’re crazy for wanting to be treated with basic human decency, stop everything and start the first step to breaking free. Pamela Kole, bestselling author, guides you through the inner motivations of abusers and how to deal with them and stop them. Gather your courage and know that you’re not crazy. •The true statistics and prevalence of abuse. •5 types of diagnoses for abusers – spot yours. •The subtle red flags of the abuser you must look for. •The dangerous cycles of abuse and how they keep you trapped. Take back your life. •How you’re being emotionally manipulated. •Types of intervention and therapy. •How to leave your abuser safely. •Aftereffects and how to heal. Learn to love and empower yourself again. When you can understand the abuser, you can understand yourself and what is happening under your nose on a daily basis. You can gain back your sense of confidence and freedom and break free of your mental prison. The love, safety, and support you need – you deserve it and you will find it again. This book is the first step.
