Living Strong After Abuse

Recovering from emotional abuse? Become a "thriver" with proven exercises to do at home.

Medical writer Theresa Jackson, MSc, has put together an evidence-based book that uses the latest techniques proven to effectively treat people who've experienced emotional abuse.

There's no small need for resources like this one, with one third of women experiencing abuse during their life time the need has never been greater. Though the effects of abuse can be devastating and long-reaching, abuse recovery does not need to be the focal point of an abuse escapee's life indefinitely.

You'll learn CBT, resilience building and confidence boosting exercises, plus you'll build connections to healthy sources of support.

But before the exercises comes understanding. You'll be diving into the various groups who abuse, ranging from those who experienced emotional abuse at home and are continuing the cycle, to those who have dysphoric and emotional control issues, to those with dark personality traits such as narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism and sadism.

How does the science surrounding abuse help people usually? The sad truth is that often it doesn't.

If someone doesn't have access to free, professional services, a lot of the information held by researchers and therapists has a very difficult time reaching people who need it. That's where this book jumps in.

Using a central concept of "thrivership" over "survivorship," as shown to be more effective by the latest research into abuse recovery, this book is crammed full of tools to help you:

* Put the experience of abuse into context

* Build confidence and self-esteem

* Establish yourself as the main focal point of your life

* Guide you back towards feeling resilient and empowered again

You'll Learn:

* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

* Social support

* Self-esteem building exercises

* Contextualizing experiences

* Proven positive psychology tools

* Many more...
