Does your partner blame you for their own problems? Do they humiliate you, especially in front of others? Is it impossible to satisfy him/her? Are you convinced that something is wrong with you? Do you feel ashamed to admit that you have been abused?

In "Escaping Emotional Abuse," Beverly Engel, a world-renowned therapist and expert in emotional abuse, reveals the techniques used by the abuser to break your spirit and gain control - and guides you to free yourself from the shame that may keep you away from the life and love you deserve.

Using your deepest fears against you, the abuser strips you of self-esteem, dignity, and humanity - making you feel unworthy and completely powerless to escape. However, you have a powerful tool at your disposal to combat shame: self-compassion. In these pages, Engel shows you how to cultivate it.

Utilizing her highly effective Shame Reduction Program, she helps you begin the recovery process by providing specific steps that will aid in healing and regaining your confidence. An invaluable resource for both men and women suffering from emotional abuse, as well as for therapists and supporters, "Escaping Emotional Abuse" is a supportive, compassionate guide for anyone seeking to break the chains of shame and gain the emotional freedom to create healthy, lasting relationships.
