Book Preview:

#1 This part of the book addresses how verbal abuse limits your potential and how to recover from it. It covers self-help processes to facilitate recovery, including how to discover and recover your greatest gifts, and how to develop a strong sense of self.

#2 Verbal abuse is the attempt to control you. It is important to understand that you are not what you’ve been told, and you do not deserve any negative behavior or attitude. You have the right to control your own life, and not live in fear.

#3 When you start to see how your abuser’s behavior is irrational and ridiculous, you are on the path to healing. As you come to realize that no one can define your inner world, you are beginning to validate yourself.

#4 Verbal abuse so wholly defines its target that it is like brainwashing. If you are the target of verbal abuse, you may have been told that you are not who you have known yourself to be. You may have begun to feel guilty, and eventually, you may have sought relief from your confusion and feelings of unworthiness by trying harder to please your abuser.
