The Emotionally Destructive Relationship

You Can Find Freedom from Your Pain

If a painful relationship has ever left you feeling powerless to change the situation, know that you can find a path to healing.  

Counselor and social worker Leslie Vernick hasn’t just observed the devastating effects of emotional abuse—she has experienced them firsthand. She knows how difficult it is to seek help or even talk about your experience. She offers godly guidance and with empathy teaches you the signs of emotionally destructive relationships and provides biblical approaches to repair the damage. You will learn how to

• recognize behaviors that are meant to control, punish, and hurt
• confront and speak truth when the timing is right
• determine when to keep trying, and when to get out
• get safe and stay safe
• nurture your identity in Christ

Whether you’re feeling the damage of abuse or you long to know how to help someone else, God offers real and lasting freedom from the physical, emotional, spiritual, and generational effects of destructive relationships.
