Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Free Yourself from an Abusive Relationship
Andrea Lissette · 2000
76/100
👍 Worth It
A practical, clinically grounded seven-step guide to leaving or changing an abusive relationship, notable for its gender-neutral framing that makes it genuinely inclusive regardless of relationship type. The structured exercises give survivors something concrete to work with rather than just information to absorb. The 2000 publication date means some legal references and resources will be out of date, so readers should supplement with current local support information.
