Absent: How to Heal from Emotionally Toxic Parents - A Grown-Up's Guide to Healing from Childhood Neglect, Manipulation, Trauma, and Abusive Emotional - Paperback

by Olivia K. Rice (Author)

What the kid inside you was never told about healing from abuse...

Do you feel like your relationship with your parents is always bringing you down? Do they blame you for their problems, for being a thorn in their shoes, always endeavoring to make you feel like the most massive burden they've ever had to carry?

Do they want to control all aspects of your life, continually being dissatisfied with the choices you make?

Do they tend to humiliate and manipulate you, making you feel like nothing you do is good enough, that none of your efforts pay off, all while making themselves out to be exceptionally gifted and talented?

Abusive parents tend to share common traits--they are constantly negatively reactive, lack empathy, are extremely controlling, always critical, and continuously transfer blame to you.

If your parent ticks any of those boxes, then you are likely already aware of who and what you're dealing with. But from here on, things can only get better if you let them.

In Absent, you will discover:

● The art of letting go as a way to empower you on your healing journey

● The importance of self-compassion and how to effectively practice it to stop all forms of self-blame for things you never had any control over

● Why freeing yourself from anger and resentment will help you better understand and be more accepting of your parent's behavior

● The secrets to self-love you should have learned long ago to offer yourself the best gift every person deserves

● A new perspective on the act of forgiveness that will finally give you the upper hand when your dealing with your parent(s)

● How to create a mental space to help you feel safe enough to face your most potent demons and succeed

● The most crucial thing you need to do to become entirely free of old patterns and finally make conscious choices out of love for yourself and not fear of your parents

And much more.
