Written by Sherrie Campbell, PhD and Wendy T. Behary, LCSW

Narrated by Sherrie Campbell

Do you have a toxic family member? Do you feel like cutting ties with this person-even as painful and scary as that may sound-would dramatically increase your well-being and improve your life? You're not alone. Severing ties with a family member can be devastating; and cutting this toxic person out of your life may bring up feelings of guilt and uncertainty. Fortunately, you can free yourself from this toxic family member in a healthy, responsible, and liberating way.

In Adult Survivors of Toxic Family Members, psychologist and toxic-family survivor Sherrie Campbell offers effective strategies for setting strong boundaries after ending contact with a toxic family member, and provides powerful tools to help you heal from shame, self-doubt, and stigma. You'll find the validation you need to embrace your decision with pride and acknowledgement of your self-worth. You'll learn how to let go of negative thoughts and feelings. And finally, you'll develop the skills needed to rediscover self-care, self-love, self-reliance, and healthy loving relationships.

Whether you're ready to sever ties with a toxic family member, or already have, this book will help guide you, every step of the way.

Extremely Helpful! We are not crazy people as some would make us think we are. So GRATEFUL for this book!

Excellent! This validates what so many have experienced but do not have the words for.

[Anna Kurgan · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book has changed my perspective on myself. It validates my experience as the scapegoat sibling, trying and failing to be the person my family expected me to be.
So I have cut all ties with my biological family and thus book is like meeting a long lost friend who has taken my hand and is walking beside me, a guide and companion for the days it feels too lonely to go further.
Just what I needed to listen to now.

Wow! This is so enlightening. Thank God this is available here. Thank you to the author. Thank you for the detailed explanation, the sharing your story and the actionable steps to become a victor. I thought that what I was feeling was unique only to me and this shows that indeed I am not alone. Highly recommended especially to those who are struggling internally but don't know why. Love this! <3 (:
