Invisible Wounds
Help, Hope, and Healing for Women in Abusive Relationships, or Recovery

"Kay Douglas's book is the most supportive, realistic, and practical guide for abused women that I have encountered. A woman with this book in her hands is on the path to a new life. The author really 'gets it' about what it takes to deal with a destructive partner and takes the reader step-by-step from the beginnings of grasping what is happening to her all the way to healing once the relationship has ended. Outstanding!"- Lundy Bancroft, author of Why Does He Do That?, Should I Stay, or Should I Go?, When Dad Hurts Mom and The Joyous Recovery.“Kay Douglas has written an extraordinary book about a terrifyingly 'ordinary' phenomenon: emotional abuse of women by men… Invisible Wounds is the strong, wise companion every woman needs who doubts her right to a life free from emotional abuse, and the shame and self-blame that so often accompany it.”- Dr. Stephanie Dowrick, author of Intimacy and Solitude, and Forgiveness and Other Acts of Love."Invisible Wounds is a powerful and engaging book for emotionally abused women. As a survivor and professional, Kay Douglas comes across as warm, knowledgeable, and compassionate. This book will be of great value…"- Lynn Fairweather, author of Stop Signs: Recognizing, Avoiding, and Escaping Abusive Relationships.Kay Douglas is a registered psychotherapist.
