Many women - and men - experience psychological abuse without realising it. Manipulation, deception, and disrespect leave no physical scars, but they can be just as traumatic as physical abuse. In this book, Neal helps you recognise the warning signs of subtle abuse. As you are able to identify patterns that have never made sense before, you are better equipped to make changes. An expert in the field, Neal has guided countless individuals to regain their self-esteem, their joy, and their lives.

Therapist Beverly Engel first introduced the concept of emotional abuse, one of the most subtle, yet devastating forms of abuse within a relationship. Now Engel exposes the most destructive technique the abuser uses to break our spirit and gain control - and guides readers on how to free themselves from the shame that can keep them from the life (and the love) they deserve. An invaluable resource for both men and women who suffer from emotional abuse, as well as therapists and advocates.
