Narrated by: Sherrie Campbell

Do you have a toxic family member? Do you feel like cutting ties with this person—even as painful and scary as that may sound—would dramatically increase your well-being and improve your life? You're not alone. Severing ties with a family member can be devastating, and cutting this toxic person out of your life may bring up feelings of guilt and uncertainty. Fortunately, you can free yourself from this toxic family member in a healthy, responsible, and liberating way.

In Adult Survivors of Toxic Family Members, psychologist and toxic family survivor Sherrie Campbell offers effective strategies for setting strong boundaries after ending contact with a toxic family member, and provides powerful tools to help you heal from shame, self-doubt, and stigma. You'll find the validation you need to embrace your decision with pride and acknowledgement of your self-worth. You'll learn how to let go of negative thoughts and feelings. And finally, you'll develop the skills needed to rediscover self-care, self-love, self-reliance, and healthy loving relationships.

Whether you're ready to sever ties with a toxic family member, or already have, this book will help guide you, every step of the way.

Very Much Needed

Those of us who come from toxic families need to know these lessons and examples she is discussing. I wish I would have known all of this sooner. It would have made my transition out of the family easier and I would have done it sooner.

Thank you so much

God really has a way to help. And I am so thankful for you being the way. Thanks!

thankful

This book is a must if your the scapegoat. Truly helpful and raw. I will continue to read anything by her

Incredibly validating

I’ve never reviewed a book on here before, but this book was so incredibly validating and insightful. I’m going on 2 years of no contact with my immediate family and this book described some of my relatives and my relationships with them exactly as they were. I don’t know anyone else who has cut off family, and it is isolating and lonely to have this experience alone. But hearing all of my experiences, trauma, and feelings validated in this book means so much and helps to feel less alone in such a unique circumstance.

Loved it

I loved this book, I just wanted to hug it! It made me truly think about the abuse I've been subjected to as a child and realize that it's okay to let your toxic family members go; you don't need to have a relationship with them if they are toxic. This book explains what toxic families are, how to set boundaries, and finally learn to heal and take care of yourself, most importantly. Definitely recommend!
