You Are Not Crazy: For Survivors Who Have Been Made to Doubt Themselves (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781968085032)

You have spent months maybe years questioning your own memory, minimizing your pain, and apologizing for things that were never your fault. You have replayed conversations at 2 a.m., trying to figure out where you went wrong. You have wondered if you are too sensitive, too reactive, too much.

You are not too much. You were manipulated.

You Are Not Crazy is a research-informed, unflinchingly honest clarity guide for survivors navigating the aftermath of psychological manipulation and gaslighting. Written by a counselor, doctoral researcher, and survivor, this guide does not offer platitudes or surface-level affirmations. It offers something rarer, the truth about what was done to you, why it worked, what it produced inside you, and what it actually takes to find your way back to yourself.

Inside you will find clinical insight delivered in plain language, targeted self-inquiry questions to help you process what you are reading, and a framework for rebuilding the one thing prolonged manipulation targets most: your trust in yourself.

If you have ever needed someone with both the research and the lived experience to look you in the eye and say what happened to you was real - this guide was written for you.
