This book began not in a library, and not at a desk. It began in a session.
We will not identify the individual, because confidentiality is sacred and because the specific story, while unforgettable, is also painfully ordinary. A client sat across from us, shoulders drawn in, speaking barely above a whisper. She had been in what she now understood to be an abusive relationship-one characterized by manipulation, isolation, and emotional cruelty. But the thing she could not stop returning to, the thing that disturbed her sleep and eroded her sense of self far more than the original harm, was this: everyone believed him. His account of the relationship, in which she was the controlling one, the manipulative one, the abusive one, had been received without question by friends, by family members, by their shared community. She had been cast as the villain so completely and so convincingly that she had begun, in her most exhausted moments, to wonder if she was.
