 For
those of us who are or have been emotionally abused, we know how the experience
insidiously sabotages our self-esteem. We know how easy it can be to falter, to
begin to feel the familiar self-doubt and fear. We need to be reminded that the
abuse is not our fault. We need to find the motivation to trust our perceptions
-- and find the courage to change our present reality.
ENCOURAGEMENTS FOR THE EMOTIONALLY ABUSED WOMAN addresses these needs.
Whether we are just beginning to recognize that we are in abusive relationships
or whether we have made the decision to break free, this book is here, a
consistent reminder of positive growth. Written as a companion to Beverly
Engel's landmark THE EMOTIONALLY ABUSED WOMAN, this volume of quotes, insights,
feelings, and suggestions contains passages to be read and reread, turned to as
a trusted friend, to help us grow stronger with each passing day. Any time, day
or night, it is ready, on any page, to help, to heal, and to replenish the soul.
"This could have been featured in our Psychology section, but it's a
strong highlight for this section (women's issues): a companion volume to
Engel's original work, this provides many reminders that the recovery process
works, and that it involves strong and positive changes. Quotes and admonitions
take the form of short, strong paragraphs of advice."
