Publisher's Summary

Some abuse is dangerously obvious, while other types of abuse creep into our family DNA in covert ways. Keeping family secrets, intimidation, the “silent treatment” and “cyberbullying” are just a few examples of many forms of abuse with troubling outcomes. Often victims ask, “Why did this happen to me?" Or “What can I do?”.

While abusers will excuse their behavior asking, “Why do you make me do this"? Victims and abusers can rewrite their stories, improve their relationships, and break the cycle for their future generations.

In Abuse Exposed, learn:

  • The wide range of types of abuse, both overt and covert
  • The generational links to abuse
  • What to do before, during, and after abuse
  • How to confront your abuser
  • How to talk to a victim of rape
  • Finding forgiveness despite the pain
  • How to re-write your story, avoid future problems
  • And much, much, more!

A must read

I've been familiar with Christine Hammond's work for a while and I find her approach to be clear, comprehensive, inclusive and helpful. This book sums it up! With details and examples, as well as compelling stories (including her own), she gives tools to learn how to detect abuses, hidden abuses, disguised abuses... and how to protect oneself from them.
Spoiler: you may find out about abuses you never even thought were abusive!
