About the book
This book is about self-defense, not theory. Our lives depend on our willingness to identify the boundaries marking who we are and the criteria we desire for relationships. Emotional abuse creates a vicious dynamic where the victim is taught his or her feelings do not count and any pain suffered is, somehow, their own fault. This damage can radiate throughout every aspect of life.
Reviews
“This book is both terrifying and hopeful…”
–Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune, WGN-AM
“Zak Mucha’s words are dangerous to abusers, because his words mean things, and they name things. They name and describe the mechanisms of emotional abuse, and in doing so they provide weapons of self-defense and methods of liberation.”
–dogo barry graham, Zen buddhist monk
“While Zak Mucha’s explanation of the harms of emotional abuse is useful, it pales in comparison to his wisdom in teaching us emotional self-defense. Learning to protect ourselves from emotional abuse changes everything.”
–Joel Dvoskin, Ph.D. clinical and forensic psychology
