Judi Craig, Ph.D.

"THE BOOK ON LOVING YOURSELF by Denise Ann Willis is an excellent resource for any teen or adult woman who is being—or has been—physically, sexually, or emotionally abused by a date, a romantic partner, a spouse, a parent, or by any other relationship where she is left feeling powerless, controlled, inferior, or frightened for her physical safety. The author has been there! Having experienced this kind of abuse for over 30 years by various males from age 15—and transparently disclosing her own traumatic experiences from the past, she gives the reader practical steps for freeing herself from the psychological control of these troublesome, demeaning, and sometimes physically dangerous relationships. Really helpful are summaries after each chapter with “take-aways”—actionable lessons that are stepping stones for the readers on their journey to heal from toxic relationships and gain self-empowerment.
I would highly recommend this book, and am recommending it to my women clients who can benefit from it".
