You or someone you love may be in a toxic relationship, but it doesn't have to stay that way. In this compassionate and practical resource, Stephanie Quayle shares her powerful story alongside psychologist Dr. W. Keith Campbell's professional insights to give you the help and hope you need--and remind you that you are not alone.
When Stephanie lost her boyfriend in a plane crash, she faced intense grief and pain. Nothing compared, though, to the shock of discovering she had not been the only woman in his life. As her world unraveled around her, Stephanie realized that it had actually been unraveling from the start of their relationship--back when he promised her everything.
In Why Do We Stay? Stephanie draws on her story to explain how to spot a toxic relationship, how to get out, and how to heal. Mental health expert Dr. W. Keith Campbell joins her in helping you see that:
- You can make a change in your life
- There are warning signs to look for and ways to spot an unhealthy relationship
- You don't have to be a victim to narcissism or gaslighting or lose years of your life
- Whether you stay in or leave your relationship, healing and freedom are possible
Why Do We Stay? is ideal for:
- Those who feel trapped in an unhealthy relationship
- Those who are recovering from a toxic relationship
- Readers searching for a resource--for themselves or for a friend--on narcissism, gaslighting, compulsive lying, and other destructive behaviors
With a powerful blend of clinical research, gripping storytelling, and unvarnished hope, Why Do We Stay? empowers you to make changes in your life. You are not alone.
Discover a way forward.
