"Grace Ketterman shatters the myth that verbal abuse isnt so bad. It devastates million of people. I suspect that many who read Verbal Abuse will feel understood for the first time in their lives. With that understanding comes hope and healing". Bob McGee.
It was an enlightening book in that I really had not realized how much people verbally abuse each other. It opened my eyes to it in my family and will help me to be more compassionate with others when they speak poorly. I felt it was a little weak in what to do when someone verbally abuses you but it does make the point to not let it slide because you are allowing the other person to use bullying techniques. The author basically says to use positive words to stop the abuse. Try to see the underlying stressor that is causing the other person to act that way and address that with positive works.
Says that homosexuality is caused by abuse. "Carmen did not want to be a lesbian but [the abuse she experienced] made her reject the very idea of being a woman." Enough said.
This book is amazing! It’s a mirror to your soul, while at the same time a refreshing conversation on the importance of healing yourself to have healthy children!
