In her previous work, Dr. Stephanie Sarkis explored the manipulative behaviors of narcissists and sociopaths that leave victims questioning their reality. Now, she extends compassion and knowledge to those recovering from abusive or toxic relationships. Survivors often face challenges such as damaged self-esteem, feelings of rage and betrayal, and self-blame. As a specialist in toxic behavior and personality disorders, Dr. Sarkis is well-equipped to guide survivors through their healing journey. This book helps readers understand the roots of toxic behavior and provides strategies for moving forward, including rebuilding self-esteem, practicing self-care, and avoiding future toxic relationships.
