You want to support them well - but good intentions alone aren't enough. This is the practical guide no one hands you when someone you love is healing from abuse.

Whether you're a partner, a friend, an adult child, or a parent, When Someone You Love Is Healing gives you clear, compassionate, practical language for exactly this role - what to say, what never to say, how to listen without trying to fix, and how to respect boundaries that weren't set for you but still affect you.

This is not a memoir, and it never asks the survivor's story to be told here. It's written entirely for the person standing beside them.

What's inside:

The exact phrases that help - and the well-meaning ones that quietly harm
How to listen without rushing to fix anything
Respecting boundaries you didn't set, without taking them personally
Recognizing triggers and difficult days before they escalate
Supporting someone's faith journey, if that's part of their healing, without pushing your own views
A full chapter on taking care of yourself - because a depleted supporter helps no one for long
A quick-reference "Do and Avoid" guide for hard moments

Perfect for: partners, friends, adult children, parents, and siblings who want to show up well for a survivor in their life - and for anyone who has ever wondered, "Am I helping, or am I making this harder?" Also a thoughtful gift for a support group, a faith community, or a family navigating this together.

A gentle note: This book offers general guidance, not clinical advice. It consistently encourages professional support for the survivor and for you, and includes resources for both.
