Author Greyson James never planned on writing a book about toxic relationships and emotional abuse. But after suffering through almost four years of an extremely emotionally abusive relationship that completely turned his life upside down, he felt a burden to help others avoid what he personally experienced and share how he recovered from it. He combines solid research with first-hand knowledge from some of the darkest periods in his life to put together a sensitive and thoughtful guide to help people relate to, identify, understand, avoid, escape and ultimately recover from the pain and trauma inflicted by emotional abusers. Although written from the perspective of a man abused by a woman, this book is written to help both men and women who are victims of mental and emotional abuse to overcome the guilt, shame and incredible suffering that comes from it. The abuse can be verbal, physical, sexual, emotional, financial, spiritual, legal, psychological or a combination of all of them, but the devastating effects from it can affect anyone, regardless of their background or place in life. And much of the damage comes from emotional abusers who exhibit various forms of psychopathy. It is estimated that one out of every seven people in the world suffer from one or more of the Cluster B personality disorders. So, chances are pretty high that everyone will encounter at least one in their lifetime. No matter if they suffer from anti-social, borderline, histrionic or narcissistic personality disorder; all emotional abusers have this in common: unhealthy, superficial, inappropriate or completely nonexistent human emotions and extremely abusive, erratic, dysfunctional and toxic behavior. Emotional abusers use anger, aggression, deceit, exaggeration, seduction, manipulation and excessive emotions to get what they want and to hide who they really are. They are so good at what they do, and so relentless at pursuing and achieving what they desire, that most of the time their victims don't truly realize what is happening to them until they become so isolated, hurt, confused, and disoriented, that they lose all sense of reality and self-identity. In this book, the author guides you through all of the aspects of emotional abuse including: Understanding Psychopathy, The Cluster B Personality Disorders, Love Bombing & The Idealization Stage, The Warning Signs of Emotional Abuse, The Abuse Grooming Process, The Devaluing Stage, Spiritual Components of Emotional Abuse, Defining Abusive Behavior, Understanding the Abuse Cycles, The Damaging Effects of Emotional Abuse, Why Do Victims Stay So Long?, Escaping An Abusive Relationship, and Recovery. Emotional abuse can happen to anyone, but it is a personal hell no one should ever have to experience or suffer through. Honest, open, and insightful, this book will not only help you identify behaviors that can lead to emotional abuse, but give you the ability to recognize it in all of its various forms, subtleness and expressions. It also provides an understanding of why people with Cluster B disorders do what they do, while shedding light on the disorders that are so often behind mental and emotional abuse. If you are someone who is currently suffering in an abusive relationship, wanting to escape one, or trying to recover from one; this book will give you new insight, perspective and helpful tools to do so. It will help you go from victim to survivor, enabling you to find true peace and happiness again.
