Combining psychological insight with practical safety information, this helpful manual guides the reader toward understanding--and eventually ending--the vicious cycle of wooing, tension, violence, and remorse that characterizes all levels of domestic violence. It outlines a series of steps abused women can take to ensure their emotional and physical safety. Growing Free offers both practical and psychological resources, including lists of abusive behaviors from ridiculing family members to physical violence, common rationalizations for abuse used by both victims and perpetrator, and discussions of protection orders and other legal matters. In this book, you'll find detailed preparations and safety precautions that may make leaving less dangerous, advice on what to take with you when you leave, and guidelines for establishing safe relationships in the future. A companion volume available separately, A Therapist's Guide to Growing Free, offers therapists a comprehensive outline of the issues, tasks, and goals involved in treatment with victims and survivors.
