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…

Insightful, moving and reassuring

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.

Although the story was good, and I believe it is quite genuine, it is only one side. There is always two sides to every story.
My heart goes out to the author and her feelings, but having seen, and felt what it feels like to be on the other side of this story; it is also soul, destroying to have someone disconnect from you.
You can live private life without disconnecting from your family, minimising contact and keeping things simple. Publicly disconnecting, or privately for that matter hurts everyone and the pain never goes away.
Distancing Is a better way of managing family.
Disconnection destroys everyone’s soul .
