Summary:
A
controlling
or
abusive
partner
can break even the strongest person-unless you know what to look for. Written by an expert in intimate
partner
abuse and based on her highly successful recovery program for
women
with
controlling
partners
, this book will give you the strength, courage, and strategies you need to acknowledge the problem and stand up for yourself once and for all-whether you stay or leave the relationship. If you have a
controlling
partner
, you aren't alone. Millions of
women
suffer psychological abuse at the hands of a spouse or intimate
partner
during some point in their lives, not fully seeing or knowing what is happening to them. Research shows that psychological abuse affects
women
's overall well-being more than physical abuse, is a bigger contributor to inducing fear, and can be a precursor to violence. To make matters worse, having a
controlling
partner
often results in hidden injuries like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, and low self-efficacy-feeling like you can't make a difference in
your
life
. So, where can you turn for help? Based on over a decade of clinical and domestic abuse research,
Women
with
Controlling
Partners
will help you identify the coercive constraints that can be predictive of intimate
partner
abuse, recognize the harmful effects of psychological abuse on
your
mental and physical health, and gain the personal strength and power to break free. Using the author's three-stage recovery model, you'll be empowered to move out of denial, deconstruct what holds you psychologically captive, and take
back
your
life
. Abuse can be devastating, and having a
controlling
partner
can make you feel crazy-and as if you're the one responsible. But you're not crazy, and you're not to blame! With this important, one-of-a-kind recovery process, you'll finally find the clarity of mind, courage, and strength to protect yourself from the hurtful control that damages
your
mental and physical health, and move toward a safer and happier
life
.
