Dr. Sherrie has indeed crafted a remarkable book that resonates with countless readers. Her insights into emotional abuse are both enlightening and empowering. Here’s why I believe her work is exceptional: Self-Discovery: Through her words, I’ve embarked on a journey of self-discovery. Dr. Sherrie’s ability to shed light on our innermost struggles is truly remarkable. I’ve learned more about myself than I ever thought possible. Understanding Manifestations: Dr. Sherrie delves into the various manifestations of emotional abuse. Her comprehensive exploration helps readers recognize these patterns in their own lives. It’s like holding up a mirror to our experiences. Solutions and Resilience: But it doesn’t end there. She doesn’t just highlight the problem; she offers solutions. Her guidance on overcoming emotional wounds and retraining our coping mechanisms is invaluable. It’s like having a compassionate mentor by your side. Gratitude: I echo your sentiment of gratitude.

I've read all of Sherrie Campbell's books and this one is very relatable to me when it comes to toxic parents. I received it today & I couldn't wait to start it; after only the first chapter I could relate to the content so much. It's as if she's writing about my life and my parents. It's overwhelming because it re-opens all of the wounds from childhood that I have worked so hard to heal, but at the same while reading, she validates everything I'm feeling and the inner wounds feel as if they've healed stronger. She talks of so much which was kept in the dark for me for decades. I had many "light bulb" moments while reading it. I particularly love how she speaks of generational dysfunction and how that is no excuse for toxic behavior. The struggle is real for people like myself and Sherrie. She gets it and she's here to help each of us. Thank you Dr. Sherrie Campbell! If I could give this book 10 stars I would!! I hope you keep writing and continue my healing journey and I'm sure there are many others who feel the same!!

Wow, I am in awe. Dr. Sherrie did it AGAIN with yet another incredible book. I couldn’t stop reading because I’ve never felt more seen, heard, or validated yet she gives tangible steps to heal and revive TOWARDS the life you’ve always dreamed and desired — gently, lovingly, and compassionately. I am just so impressed with her ability as the only expert AND survivor to use her OWN story so bravely and courageously to lay this path and foundation for other survivors in a way that NO ONE is talking about. Thank you Dr. Sherrie from the bottom of my heart and I am so grateful for you pushing their your past and sharing this gift with the world. There are principles in this book that I can’t WAIT to unpack and apply in y own life — and continue forward in my healing because I am so inspired by you. BRAVEHEARTS UNITE.

This book is so delicious, I didn’t want it to end. Through her books, Dr. Sherrie‘s guidance has been the breath of life that I needed for validation that my life experiences were true. She has helped me see and live my truth. So much so that throughout the past couple of years, her guiding light has been able to change the phrase “But It’s Your Family“ (and also the title of another awesome book written by her) to take on a different meaning when it comes to my judgment and standards for a future partnership. I am no longer accepting or justifying emotionally abusive parents or emotionally abusive relationships. If you’re ready to get the validation you need and take the steps towards your healing journey, this book will be the torch to guide you. Rebellious hope is my new way of embracing life. Thank you, Dr. Sherrie, for your passion and selflessness to help other brave souls heal and find their truth.

It's so incredibly difficult to break free and truly heal from this type of abuse, but Dr. Sherrie's book will help you do it! Years of therapy brought it all out & I was able to break the cycle for my children. It was also when the first real estrangements began. Fast forward another 30 years to now. It's only been these last two years where I found Dr. Sherrie's books, read them and finally...FINALLY have been able to tear myself away for good! This latest book is amazing. I've read it through once and am re-reading it, as well as highlighting key points. The psychological hold toxic people have on their victims is diabolical. Thank you, Dr. Sherrie for sharing your story and helping me and countless others break free from the chains that have held us for so long.

This book is amazing and must read for adult survivors who experienced child abuse from their parents! It gives a lot of good insight about what emotional (hiden) abuse is and how to recognize it! It exposes bad parents as bad people or people with some (personality disorders). Bad person can not be a good parent. This book not only reveals it in a deep and profound way it also gives a lot of love, compasion and empover the reader! Sherrie, is a true blessing to this world! The only complain about this book I have is because of NEW AGE influence in this book! She was sugesting some NEW AGE methods which are not aceptible for Christians in general. Almost all psychologists are getting into trap of NEW AGE deception which I think they should avoid because they do not have enough spiritual wisdom and knowledge to give advice for spirituality. Lack of knowledge in that area can lead some readers into deception and wrong direction if they start exploring: meditation, yoga, numerology, enneagram and other methods of occultism.

This book is invaluable for those who grew up with toxic parenting. Little did we know that, as children, our parental mirrors to our self-worth and self-esteem were so distorted, which greatly affected how we viewed ourselves. No matter where you are on your healing journey … this book is a must read! Dr. Sherrie Campbell is beyond insightful… she has personally walked her talk, which makes her far more credible than the initials she has earned after her name. This is a book that will raise your level of awareness and identify and thaw any frozen feelings and memories you thought were long resolved and healed. This book is a treasure that will provide long-overdue validation and clarity. It is a must read… and re-read book!

This book is phenomenally healing! I have read all of Dr. Campbell’s books. Her ability to make a personal connection with her readers, being a survivor of emotionally abusive parents herself, immediately leads one to feel they are not alone on what is often a lonely and painful journey. Her ability to provide a precise roadmap to healing, as an expert on toxic family abuse, makes this journey less lonely and less painful. Following Dr. Campbell’s guidance helped me find true happiness for the first time in my life after experiencing toxic family abuse. Isn’t it time you find your happiness as well? Run, don’t walk, to purchase Dr. Campbell’s words of incredible wisdom and healing. Heal your pain and find your peace with Dr. Campbell as your guide.

I have read all of Dr Sherrie's books and have followed her on social for many years. This book would have to be her best yet. She pulls no punches when it comes to the behavior of emotionally abusive parents and the horrific impact it has on our mental and emotional health. But this book is for the survivors. It's filled with tools for healing and building resilience and the belief that we can live our best lives in spite of those childhood wounds. Read it. It's eye opening.

De los mejores libros que he leído. Un libro muy valioso que me ha ayudado mucho con mi proceso de sanación y también a ser mejor madre. Ojalá salga la versión en español algún día.

Great book really helps you understand yourself and learn to forgive others

A super book covering difficult and emotive topics. A life saver of knowledge, wisdom, guidance and reassurance. Sherrie Campbell is outstanding in her field of practice. I have read the book (and her others) several times and get more from them each time. She has changed my life for the better! Thank you.

Puts into words all the pain and suffering and goes beyond in such an inspiring thoughtful way. I've read many many books on this topic and not one even comes close to how a book with first hand experience can describe the pain and then describe what's needed to heal.
