In the last 5-6 years I have been working diligently to over come verbal abuse in all it’s forms in my life through clear communication. For some people, like me, clear communication was blocked by my fear (see the next blog on fear). But now, after coming through such a great learning of life’s lessons, I can share these books with confidence and understanding.
“The Verbally Abusive Relationship” and “Controlling People” are both by Patricia Evans, a communications specialist. This is is something I have learned about in a very personal way, that I can share, knowing that the power of the messages in these books are extremely valuable!
Communication is so vital. These books really help you understand about how the seemingly benign things we say to each other can actually be hurting someone, or how the seemingly benign things people are saying to us are actually hurting us. By shining the light on verbal abuse in it’s most subtle disguises we can recognize it, understand it, and overcome it!
