"First and foremost, Thank you! Everything has been so overwhelming. Knowing there is a name for what is happening to you, knowing your not alone and that people care can be very comforting. This book has been an excellent guide and covered so many questions I had. Less then a month ago I didn't even know what gaslighting was, yet I have been living with it all my life. Another door has opened. I have already entered, cautiously, and I feel so excited for my new gaslighting free life!

"I feel like this book was written with a lot of intention and love. I am grateful for its insights.

I do wish the pages had number on them though.

I loved this quote from the book:

Dr. Henry Cloud defines the term (2019): Personal boundaries allow you to have ownership over your own thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions, while freeing you from being responsible for anyone else's. Virtually everyone sets some form of boundaries without thinking about it, but when we consciously define them, we gain a huge degree of control over our happiness, comfort and the quality of our relationships."

-Robin D

"This book is helpful to anyone looking to study the toxic behaviors and effects of gaslighting. The author does an excellent job of describing the term "gaslighting" to the reader. The book takes the reader through the subject by explaining the people who gaslight, the reason behind the gaslighting behavior, and the stages and signs on how to recognize the abuse of gaslighting.

Gaslighting can be found in many relationships from spousal abuse, family members, the workplace, and even casual relationships to which the author provides common scenarios for the reader to relate to and take an active part in learning by providing journaling assignments.

Communication skills are provided as well as tips for the person being abused to assist with taking charge of their mental health and recover from the subliminal mind games that have been forced upon them."
