Are you a victim of subtle abuse? Are you the one who constantly apologizes and blames herself? Do you often feel confusion, frustration, and anger? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you are not alone. Nearly half of women – and men – experience psychological abuse without realizing it.

Manipulation, deception, and lack of respect leave no visible scars, but they can hurt just as much as physical abuse. In this groundbreaking book, Avery Neal helps you recognize the warning signs of subtle abuse.

When you learn to identify patterns of behavior that you previously didn't understand, you will be better prepared to change things. Start by overcoming fear, then set boundaries and gather your courage: Whether you decide to leave or protect yourself from a chronic abusive relationship, this book will help you enjoy a happy, healthy, fulfilling life without shame or guilt.
