Publisher Description: There is help. There is hope.As a trauma therapist specializing in domestic violence, I never know if I will get more than one chance to meet with a victim. So, in addition to listening to their story, I try to offer them useful information to help them stay safe, know what to expect, and be better able to make more-informed life decisions.This guide covers what I consider to be basic - but also important - information to know, whether the person is still in an abusive relationship, is planning to leave, or has already left their abuser. It also offers useful resources to consult moving forward.Reclaim Your Life, Reclaim Yourself isn't meant to be a step-by-step, how-to manual for leaving an abusive relationship. Such a manual doesn't exist-it couldn't. Every story is different. Every story is unique. But this guide can help the reader see how others have suffered abuse at the hands of a person claiming to love them ... and found freedom from both.Your scars are not your life. Your future is yours to choose. |
