When abusers gaslight their partners, women have difficulty detecting reality. They often believe that it&#8217;s their own intelligence, mental health, or emotional stability that is causing reality to feel so disorienting. Trauma Mama Husband Drama helps delineate the truth about the chaos, abusiveness, and fear that women experience when their partners use exploitative materials. This book validates and empowers women within themselves as they begin their journey to healing. Books About Emotional Abuse Should Help Family &#38; Friends Understand What You&#8217;re Going Through Tragically, family and friends of victims often enable abusers to keep betraying and abusing &#8211; simply because they don&#8217;t understand abuse and trauma. Trauma Mama Husband Drama is short, easy to read, and there&#8217;s a high likelihood a support person will read it. Victims need support to get to emotional safety and ultimately heal from the devastation of betrayal trauma. If you need support, attend a Betrayal Trauma Recovery Group Session. TODAY. Transcript: Best Books About Emotional Abuse Anne: Some of you know, I have been working on a picture book for adults called Trauma Mama Husband Drama for a while. It is finally finished, and you can find it on Amazon. When you receive your copy of the book, it will be a verified purchase, and then will you please go to your Amazon account and give it a five star rating? That makes a huge difference. You know, I&#8217;m also writing a non fiction book about how pornography use is abusive to a spouse. I used many examples from victims for that book. And it is very detailed. However, if you give this picture book to clergy or give the 300 page book to clergy, the likelihood of them reading it with the picture book is much higher. The Journey of Creating the Book Anne: It kind of came about when I was hanging out with a few sheroes. And we were joking around and I said, Trauma mama feeling sad, and everyone kind of laughed and I thought that&#8217;s it. I&#8217;m gonna write this book. The way I found the illustrator was an absolute miracle. She is also an abuse survivor. She lives in Brazil, and I won&#8217;t go into how I found her, but it was an absolute miracle. She&#8217;s an amazing artist and the right artist for the job. And I can&#8217;t even really put into words what a miracle it was to find her, because there were many other artists I got samples from, and nothing was jiving. Crystal Wolf Labasol is her name. We really clicked, and I&#8217;m so grateful for her hard work. It&#8217;s been about a year and a half. that it took us to create this picture book. We worked really hard on all the little details to make sure it was saying what we wanted it to say. The Importance of Visual Learning Anne: At the back of the book are a bunch of Betrayal Trauma Resources and infographics that help people understand this type of abuse. So we&#8217;ve got the power and control wheel. We have the abuse cycle. This podcast is helpful to people. But there&#8217;s something about having this physical book that&#8217;s visual to help process it as well. It&#8217;s a different way of learning. It&#8217;s a different way of processing.
