Break free from emotional abuse. How to break the cycle of humiliation and shame in relationships

In her book, psychotherapist Beverly Engel reveals the most destructive techniques that abusers use to break their victims’ spirit and gain control over them. The author guides readers to free themselves from the shame that keeps them from the life (and love) they deserve.

Victims of emotional abuse are gradually stripped of their self-respect and dignity, leaving them feeling unworthy and utterly powerless, unable to escape. But they have a powerful tool to overcome shame: empathy for themselves. In this book, Engel explains how to use it.

Through her effective shame-overcoming program, she helps those in need begin the healing process by taking concrete steps to heal their emotional wounds, rebuild their self-confidence, and ultimately become strong enough to leave for good.

An invaluable resource for men and women experiencing emotional abuse, as well as for therapists and advocates. Support, nourishment, and guidance for anyone who wants to break the shackles of shame and gain the emotional freedom to create healthier, more lasting relationships.
