You replay the conversations. You question your memory. You wonder if you're being unfair. The relationship felt loving once - and sometimes still does - but something in you knows that what is happening is not what you were told it was.
This is not weakness, and it is not indecision. It is epistemic injury - what happens when your mind's ability to update beliefs is repeatedly interfered with by someone who depends on your confusion to maintain control. It has nothing to do with how smart, insightful, or self-aware you are.
What If I'm Wrong?!? (You're Not) gives you something most recovery books do not: a structured, science-based method for reconstructing what actually happened and weighing the evidence honestly. Drawing on Bayesian reasoning - the formal logic used in mathematics, physics, and medicine to update conclusions from new data -
Dr. Peter Salerno and Dr. Debra Lieberman walk you through a Triangle Tool for mapping the relational system, a Reality Ledger for separating what occurred from what you were told it meant, and a clear stopping rule for knowing when the pattern has converged.
This is not affirmations. It is not feel differently. It is a workbook that helps you re-run the inference with the distortion removed - so the conclusion your mind has been quietly reaching all along can finally settle, and you can act from clarity instead of confusion.
Your perception is trustworthy. Your reasoning is intact. This book will help you trust both again.
