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 EMOTIONALL 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.
