“Until I read this book, no self-help book had enabled me to cut ties with my toxic family, or to heal and deal with the aftermath. I followed Sherrie Campbell’s blueprint step by step. Her work eased the lifetime pain in my soul in weeks. This book is helpful for survivors of this type of trauma, and also the clinicians who come across this topic in their office. This book brought me back to my estranged father to receive forgiveness before he died, and discover a shocking truth I never knew. I can only describe what occurred as a supernatural event. I was an emotionally broken child and a self-worth chaser. I am now a perfectly broken adult, with secure boundaries in place, more emotionally mature, and I know I am enough.”

“Sherrie Campbell offers a unique and true-to-life view of what it means to separate yourself from toxic family members. She clarifies what toxic family abuse is, the impacts it has on creating lifelong feelings of shame and confusion, and she gives the reader practical steps to heal their lives, so the abuse stops with them. Campbell isn’t just an expert, but also a survivor, which makes her more relatable to those who are living through this type of pain. Campbell believes that readers coping with this type of trauma often need another survivor more than an expert to truly understand the complexities of moving away from toxic family abuse. In this book, you are given full permission to feel what you were never allowed to feel or speak about.”

“Before interviewing Sherrie Campbell a couple of years ago, I innocently said, ‘It must have been so difficult to choose to cut your family out of your life.’ To which she quickly responded, ‘It wasn’t a choice, it was something I had to do to survive.’ This was an ‘aha’ moment for me. Campbell, through her expertise and personal knowledge, guides those who are experiencing toxic family pain and offers them a practical path to heal, survive, and ultimately thrive. As a survivor herself, Campbell is the perfect voice to help individuals who are suffering from this unimaginable familial trauma and shame, and gives them permission to set lifesaving boundaries to break free. I look forward to recommending Campbell’s newest book, Adult Survivors of Toxic Family Members.”

“Sherrie Campbell’s Adult Survivors of Toxic Family Members equips people to maintain their health, even in the wake of damaging family relationships. A source of encouragement to those who have experienced family abuse, the book discusses when and how to set no-contact boundaries—the central piece of its approach. Then it addresses the complicated, conflicting emotions, like relief and shame, that follow from cutting ties with a family member.... With a tone of unshakable support, the book takes a reassuring yet firm approach, intoning that abuse is not okay, and that people should not put up with it, no matter from whom it comes. Campbell supports each notion with personal experiences and research, including from social and behavioral psychology. Adult Survivors of Toxic Family Members is a self-help guide to ending and healing from toxic relationships.”
