Overview
Con el propósito de ayudar a las mujeres a librarse de esta situación, Loretta Valle ofrece en este libro una guía poderosa para tener una vida en libertad. A partir de su experiencia en una RdR, que padeció durante más de una década, y apoyada en múltiples estudios de la conducta humana y las relaciones de pareja, detalla las características de una relación destructiva, que inicia con gestos seductores para luego dar paso a la manipulación, la minimización y la violencia creciente hacia las mujeres.
La autora revela por qué es tan difícil ser independientes cuando se vive una RdR; de qué forma nos afecta la educación o la conducta de nuestras figuras parentales y qué pasa en el cerebro cuando estamos inmersos en un ambiente tóxico. Para tomar conciencia de esta problemática, Loretta Valle expone también los casos de otras mujeres vulneradas por hombres violentos, ofrece numerosos ejercicios para cambiar nuestros hábitos negativos, cuestionarios para reconocer si estamos en peligro y estrategias para orientar el reaprendizaje y elevar la autoestima; además, comparte El Semáforo de las Relaciones para identificar si se avanza o se elige otro camino, y comprueba que sí es posible tener una relación de amor madura y feliz.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Thousands of women are trapped in risky relationships that threaten their household and financial stability, and even their lives. But what is a risky relationship? Is there a way out? Can the victims of such relationships successfully confront the narcissist, manipulator or psychopath trying to control them?
Loretta Valle presents this powerful guide to help women in these situations find the path to a free life. Based on her own experience in a risky relationship for more than 10 years, and drawing on multiple studies of human behavior and couple dynamics, she explains the characteristics of destructive relationships and their typical evolution, from seduction through manipulation, belittlement and, potentially, violence.
Valle explains why it is so hard to be independent when you are in a risky relationship, how education and parental figures can shape our thinking, and what happens in our brains when we are in a toxic environment. She shares stories of women trapped in violent relationships, calling attention to this societal problem. On the individual level, she offers exercises aimed at changing negative habits, questions to ask to recognize potential danger, and strategies for relearning and raising self-esteem. Also in this book is a Relationship Meter, a tool to help determine if it’s safe to move forward or if you should choose another path to a mature and loving relationship.
