Healing the Scars of Emotional Abuse

There are no bruises to yellow and heal, no gaping wound to point to. But, in spite of their invisibility, emotional wounds are a very damaging form of abuse. Whether caused by words, actions, or even indifference, emotional abuse is very common, yet often overlooked. In this helpful guide, Christian therapist Gregory Jantz examines why emotional abuse is so common and damaging. He reveals how those who have been abused by a spouse, parent, employer, or minister can overcome the past and rebuild their self-image. This new expanded edition of "Healing the Scars of Emotional Abuse" now includes: strategies for dealing with the verbal abuser; self-check quizzes with each chapter; keys to rebuilding relationships; letters from survivors of emotional abuse; new information on spiritual abuse; and, a biblical plan for healing.
