Stop.
Dare to ask the question:
What’s going wrong in this relationship?
Maybe it doesn’t seem to be “abuse.” No bruises, no sexual violation. Even smiles on the surface. Nonetheless, before your eyes, a person is being destroyed emotionally.
Perhaps that person is someone you want to help. Perhaps it’s you.
Author and counselor Leslie Vernick has witnessed the devastating effects of emotional abuse in families and relationships. And she knows it must be talked about if healing and hope are to be found. Step by step, Leslie guides you on how to…
confront and speak truth when the timing is right
determine when to keep trying and when to shift your approach
get safe and stay safe
continue to be transformed by God as you build an identity in Christ
Do you want to change? Within the pages of this book, you will find biblically sound, straightforward help to take the first step today.
“If you have been wounded or trapped in a destructive relationship, you are not alone. Your life story isn’t over. These are the life-transforming themes of hope that Leslie affirms as she shares her healing journey.”
