NEW But He Never Hit Me "This is definitely the most important self-help book I've ever read. It spoke directly to me in a compassionate and clear way, while also giving me directions for looking at my relationship problems and cleaning them up. Before I read But He Never Hit Me, I didn't even know I had these difficulties; I just knew that I wasn't really happy with my life. This book spoke to me in a very profound way. I read a lot of books, for my profession, every year and But He Never Hit Me is by far the best I've had the pleasure to read. This book will stay with me for a long time." Autographed copy - $27.45
"I just finished reading, Destructive Relationships, and I can't believe how much it's opened my eyes to how I was conducting my life and all the unhealthy relationships I had! I knew I was unhappy and couldn't figure out why my life and relationships weren't working. Now I understand completely. I feel so empowered now and confident about my future. I've already started making positive changes. I just don't know how to thank you enough!" Have your book autographed Autographed copy - $18.50
"Your book, But I Love Him" literally saved my daughter's life. She was dating an abusive boy for nearly 2 years. He was very controlling and had recently introduced her to drugs and a depraved lifestyle. She ran away with him twice. We tried everything and didn't know how to get through to her. We read your book and started talking to her differently and looking at our part in the relationship. We started seeing small changes in the way she behaved toward us. We finally gave her the book to read. She was initially resistent but then read it all in one night, highlighting it as she went. She broke up with him less than 2 weeks later. You and your book have been a miracle in our lives. We can't thank you enough for the work you do and for saving our daughter's life and our relationship with her."

It's Like Brainwashing "It's like brainwashing," says Jill Murray, a California-based psychotherapist and author of But I Love Him. At first an emotionally abusive guy may seem caring, protective, and disarmingly in love. The fact that he wants to spend all his time with you feels charming, like he's just so into you that he can't bear to be away from you. He starts controlling you gradually — so gradually that you don't notice you're spending less time with your family and friends and increasingly relying on one person — him — for advice, opinions, and help making decisions. Just as it's easy to believe "I love you," says Murray, "the girl starts to believe other things he says, like that she doesn't deserve to be treated better." A guy who behaves this way may give the impression he's confident, but he's the opposite: insecure and dependent. He may come from a family where he's witnessed a lot of fighting, or where he's been verbally abused himself. And in some way, he might think that acting macho earns him his friends' respect.
