You Are Home - by Sherrie Campbell (Paperback)

About the Book

For survivors of toxic parents or family members, "home" was never a sanctuary. It was a place of pain, instability, and fear. Using the metaphor of building a house, Dr. Sherrie Campbell--author of Adult Survivors of Toxic Family Members--empowers readers to heal the trauma inflicted by abusive parents or dysfunctional families, so they can reconnect with who they truly are, and rebuild their lives for greater connection, safety, and belonging.

Book Synopsis

For anyone who grew up in a dysfunctional or traumatic household, Dr. Sherrie Campbell invites you to rebuild your home--a place of safety, peace, and belonging within--starting from the foundation up.

If you are a survivor of family trauma, "home" was never a sanctuary. It was a place of pain, instability, and fear. You may have longed for a home filled with love, nurturing, connection, belonging, and safety--but instead were met with dysfunction and emotional harm. When a home is toxic, it becomes the last place you want to be. This compassionate guide will help you reclaim home--not as a physical place, but rather a deep sense of safety and trust in yourself.

You Are Home is a powerful "DIY manual" for understanding and honoring yourself as you begin this healing self-renovation project. You'll gain a new perspective of your past and discover tools to help you strengthen your foundation, establish boundaries with others, and rebuild your life from the ground up as you create a safer, stronger, more loving home within.

You'll discover empowering guidance to help you:

• Clear out toxic energy or emotional clutter left by parents or family members who should have cared for you but brought you harm
• Fortify the structural integrity of your home by addressing core wounds
• Set boundaries with others in ways that support growth and transformation
• Learn mindfulness and reparenting techniques to balance your emotions
• Understand that you are never going backward--you are simply going inward
• Envision your highest potential and manifest the life you were always meant to have

If your childhood and much of your adult life have been defined by feelings of emotional homelessness--feeling unloved, unseen, and disconnected--safety and belonging may seem out of reach. But coming home to yourself is possible. This book will help you rebuild your home, and your life, one step at a time.
