Steps to Freedom: Escaping Intimate Control

By Don Hennessy

The Weinstein affair in Hollywood has grabbed the headlines for months. Controlling behaviour, particularly of men towards women, is far more common, in all walks of life, than we have been led to believe. In this easy-to-read guide, best-selling author Don Hennessy offers advice to all those dealing with violent or controlling behaviour in their own lives, based on his experience of dealing with hundreds of such people in a therapeutic setting. Most important, he explains to the reader how they can throw off the shackles and live lives free from fear and intimidation.

This book has helped me understand so much that has happened to me and will give me the strength to stay away from my abuser and finally accept that I’m not to blame and shouldn’t feel shame for what he’s done . In a way I feel this book may have saved my life and I will share it with many others
