Adult Survivors of Emotionally Abusive Parents

How to Heal, Cultivate Emotional Resilience, and Build the Life and Love You Deserve

By: Sherrie Campbell PhD

Narrated by: Sherrie Campbell

When your parents are pathologically self-centered, manipulative, or emotionally abusive, the pain they cause is deep and often difficult to put into words. You may experience anxiety, depression, complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD), low self-esteem, addiction, or other mental health conditions as an adult. But it was not your fault, and there are tools you can use to heal the trauma caused by your childhood.

This compassionate guide will help you gain a greater understanding of what happened in your past; transform deep pain into emotional resilience; and build the loving, meaningful relationship with yourself that you deserve. You'll also learn to set boundaries with others, assert your needs, and overcome emotional avoidance to develop warm, loving relationships with others.

Author Sherrie Campbell offers powerful skills drawn from a range of evidence-based treatments, including mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), self-compassion, lived experience, and body-based practices to help you heal from the past and reconnect with your authentic self.

Let this book guide you on the path to healing, wholeness, and self-discovery.

Felt words were given to my experiences

this is one of the better books that I have listened to on the topic of narcissistic. /emotionally abusive parents. The author has a unique perspective as being someone that was emotionally abused by their own parents and also has a background in psychology to uniquely help others on this path. I found many times that I wanted to highlight or come back to what was being said as a way to share with my spouse, the things that I felt encompassed my experience that I had not been able to find words for previously. A lot of tips and tricks for moving forward and not staying stuck in abuse were given. I'm really glad I have this audiobook in my library as I will be listening to it again. my only gripe was during the part that the author said to do everything you can to get to know yourself better including astrology. This doesn't align with me and it took some of the validity away from that portion as a belief system not science. Overrall, I do think that the book is worth reading and shouldn't be dismissed for this small segment.
