About this listen

Do you have a toxic family member? Do you feel like cutting ties with this person—even as painful and scary as that may sound—would dramatically increase your well-being and improve your life? You're not alone. Severing ties with a family member can be devastating, and cutting this toxic person out of your life may bring up feelings of guilt and uncertainty. Fortunately, you can free yourself from this toxic family member in a healthy, responsible, and liberating way.

In Adult Survivors of Toxic Family Members, psychologist and toxic family survivor Sherrie Campbell offers effective strategies for setting strong boundaries after ending contact with a toxic family member, and provides powerful tools to help you heal from shame, self-doubt, and stigma. You'll find the validation you need to embrace your decision with pride and acknowledgement of your self-worth. You'll learn how to let go of negative thoughts and feelings. And finally, you'll develop the skills needed to rediscover self-care, self-love, self-reliance, and healthy loving relationships.

Whether you're ready to sever ties with a toxic family member, or already have, this book will help guide you, every step of the way.

This book really help me to understand my situation. I was lost and unsure of the future and therefore impossible to know or understand the next steps. The book gives a high level of understanding of what is to come, likely scenarios and emotional roller coasters. What is a toxic person and the forms of manipulation and abuse.

I’m going to have to listen to this again for all the times my brain went off on a “that’s exactly what my sister/mother/ father do when I try to explain/do etc…”

But I’m reassured. I’m not being dramatic, over sensitive or insensitive. I’m trying to draw boundaries. I’m trying to get the respect I deserve. I shouldn’t have to put on a face, I’m done people pleasing. I’m done being the one who has to let go and take the blame and apologise when they should apologise to me. But they never do…

This book by Shellie has resonated with me. She eloquently describes the suffering she had in toxic family situations and turns it around so that you become empowered by her experiences and your new learning helps you to be and feel validated and worthy. Thank you for your writing this book. It is a gift.

A must read for those who want to feel validated, listened to and understood when subjected to toxic family members.

That’s an eye opener, it seems she was talking directly to me by knowing all the family trauma I have experienced, I never had read such a direct book as such, loved every single thing about it. It is a must read whether you are a victim or not! Thank you Sherri for the work that you do and for this inspiring book

This book would be useful for those in the earlier stages of walking away. As someone who is nearly at the 10 year mark since cutting people off a lot of her advice is stuff I've already had to figure out along the way. I was just curious at what a book like this would even involve.

Either way its always good to not feel alone and hear that the difficulties are normal (e.g the grief/ emptiness during holidays and events that always lingers).

Because I've learned the things along the way I can vouch for the fact that the advice is solid (IMO).

If you are considering non-contact it may be a good way to prepare yourself. And if so good luck on your journey. It will likely be the most difficult, painful and rewarding thing you do for yourself 🙏 It gets easier x
