The Invisible Wounds Workbook features thought-provoking questions, informative checklists, practical strategies and encouraging words. It will gently guide you through a process of: - clarifying harmful behaviours; - acknowledging the personal cost; - understanding why your partner may behave as he does; - strengthening yourself within the relationship; - increasing your safety; - assessing your children's wellbeing; - weighing up options; - separating, if you choose, and beginning a new life; - recovering after the relationship; - avoiding abusive relationships in the future. The Invisible Wounds Workbook will help women to evaluate their situation, take steps to strengthen themselves and regain control over their own lives. Kay Douglas is an internationally respected registered psychotherapist. She specialises in anger, abuse and trauma and has worked with women and men for over 27 years. She is the author of six books. Because Kay has worked extensively with both men using destructive behaviour, and women who live in abusive relationships, her writing is realistic and insightful.
