Healing from Hidden Abuse

A Journey Through the Stages of Recovery from Psychological Abuse

By: Shannon Thomas LCSW

Narrated by: Wendy Tremont King

Length: 6 hrs and 26 mins

Publisher's summary

Within every community, toxic people can be found hiding in families, couples, companies, and places of worship. The cryptic nature of psychological abuse involves repetitious mind games played by one individual or a group of people. Psychological abuse leaves no bruises. There are no broken bones. There are no holes in the walls. The bruises, brokenness, and holes are held tightly within the target of the abuse.

PHENOMENAL! BEST BOOK IVE READ IN MY LIFE!

This book brought answers that I’ve been searching for in regards to toxic people for years! She has literally explained the disorders of toxic mothers, friends and partners so well that it seemed she knew the characters in my personal life. This book has brought great closure that I have desperately been searching for. I highly recommend this audible book for healing and understanding family and friends that have been trying to explain their experiences to no avail. It makes perfect sense and again, is the best book I’ve read in my life.

informative

it was interesting book and very informative. I would recommend this to anyone that needs it

I Highly recommend this book

I highly recommend this book. I did a lot of journaling. Paused, took breaks, finished.

I have awakened

I finally realize that the reason I had Suicidal Thoughts we're just a product of actions that has been caused from an external point and that when I wakened I was finally able to take control of my life and the Suicidal Thoughts are not there anymore so I'm so happy thank you so much

The Answer To So Many Of My Questions

For half-a-century I have been experiencing all types of hidden abuse from those people who were supposed to be closest to me. Those people who were supposed to protect me, hurt me the most. I had read many books about toxic parents and toxic in-laws and etc. but none of them made as much sense as this one. Thanks so very much.

Love this book. very descriptive with examples.

I felt like I was understood and could relate to the author. I got tears in my eyes, when learning of the author's own life story. My heart truly goes out to this lady. I can't believe how much of a "weight" has been lifted off my shoulders just from educating myself on this topic. I was able to see right through my abuser and their clever behavior after only listening to about half of this audio. It was a real eye opener and aha moment listening to this audio. I would highly recommend this book to anyone dealing with toxic/mentally abusive people in their lives.

Extremely helpful - many similarities to my xprce

This book was extremely helpful to me as so many of the examples given are what I experienced....and it is healing to know that I'm not crazy and that what I went through was real and there is a way out. Some of the examples felt like a biography of having dealt with a father and a sibling and their abusive behavior. Amazing book - highly recommend to anyone who has or thinks they have been abused by a narcissist, sociopath, or psychopath.

thanks for this book

I'm learning so much from this book however its painful to know what has happened to me

Brought a great relief

This book found me when i needed it the most. Exhausted from an emotional abuse at work (academic postdoc position) this book made me finally realize that it’s not unmatched characters or me doing things wrong but I actually had a psychopath for a boss. Every single thing I’ve heard matched my reality even the one where i kept denying it for a long time. I was finally able to quit my toxic job - even if it probably meant saying goodbye to academia - after 3 years of the worst torture of my life. I am finally breathing. Thank you so much Shannon Thomas!!!
