What is Emotional Rape?
Emotional rape has many similarities to physical rape, particularly date rape. Date rape involves the sexual use of someone's body without consent. In a like manner, emotional rape is the use of someone's higher emotions, such as love, without consent. However, in the case of emotional rape the lack of consent is contained in what the perpetrator doesn't say... his or her hidden agenda. Emotional rape is common in, but not limited to, male/female relationships. Victims of emotional rape can be both men and women. Both forms of rape can be very devastating and require specialized programs for recovery.
Several major obstacles are encountered in recovery from emotional rape. The first is that the victim knows that something bad happened, but doesn't know what or why. And as in date rape, a big issue is that of trust. Victims often feel that they will never be able to love or trust anyone again. Other obstacles to recovery, again similar to date rape, are the re-victimization of the victim by friends, family, and society and the subsequent tendencies toward self-blame and silence about what happened. The book addresses these concerns as well as many more in the five chapters on recovery.
Sexual Rape is a violation of someone's body - Emotional Rape is a violation of the human soul
This book is about identifying, preventing and healing emotional rape.
It's about telling victims that they didn't do anything morally wrong - that they are not to blame for what happened to the and that recovery is possible.
It's about telling victims how they can recover - to become survivors.
Only after this underrated trauma is properly identified can survivors begin to heal their wounds. Only when it is discussed honestly and openly can we, as individuals and as a society, act effectively to prevent the spread of this destructive behavior.

Textbook for healing

If you've been the victim of emotional rape, you know it. I felt it and I said it before I knew what it was. Once I identified it, I couldn't figure out how to heal it. I went to great lengths to work through the devastation that is left by a rapist. It is some of the hardest work I've ever had to do. I found this book almost a year after I began my journey to a new self. I don't know if it would have had as big of an impact had I found it sooner. It is exactly what I needed to read and absorb at the time I needed it. I printed the checklist for healing and put it on my refrigerator. Healing from emotional rape is a Herculean effort. You cannot passively sit and pray it will get better. The insidiousness of an emotional rapist digs in to your psyche, your soul and shatters your heart. You have to have help. Read, seek therapy, find a support group, lean on understanding friends. Mostly, keep this book by your side. It will remind you that you are a victim, you are not at fault, you are not alone and you have the capacity to heal. In the end, love wins.

Having been told, 30 years ago, by my psychologist, that I had been emotionally raped by parents and in-laws and husband, I finally looked for further information on this topic. I keep attracting narcisstic individuals into my life. My study of narcissism has opened my eyes and this excellent book helped to further my understanding. I have the tools to heal and be more aware going forward and I will. I also loved how the author applied the principles to what is happening in our society as a whole and our responsibility to stand against evil.

After experiencing a relationship with emotional rape I didn't understand what I was going through after it was over. It was unlike any other break up and friends kept telling me to get over it and I couldn't. This book answered a lot of my unresolved questions by naming the experience. Highly recommend especially if you have been through a relationship with a narcisstic.

Terrific book to help emotional rape victims heal!

I am eternally grateful to Michael Fox for this book, and I believe that it has the power to save lives and spirits! If you are reeling from a bpd partner's hurtful behavior, read this book. If you have been victimized by a narcissist, read this book. If you find yourself wondering how you lost yourself while in relationship with someone who kept you off-balance, hurt your feelings, lied, used silence as a weapon, and/or manipulated you, read this book! If you know someone who is being emotionally abused, read this book! Emotional rapists shatter our sense of whom we are. If you would like to make sense of it, and you are beginning the journey of recovery, use this wonderful book as a tool to help you on your way to wholeness. It has made all of the difference in my own recovery,and I believe that its power is in its ability to lift survivors to a new and better understanding of what happened to them, as well as to give them some tools for healing.

If you only buy one book on narcissistic abuse, make it this one.
A thoughtful and understanding explanation of the trauma of abuse and the after effects. It also speaks to the way cultures and institutions participate in normalizing abuse. Finally it offers clear and simple steps to recover.
I’m so glad I purchased this book!

I am still reading, but the information on this topic is good for people to understand and opens your eyes to how people are and can be. I am a person that has experienced emotional rape and happy to know that someone is writing about it. I recommend this book.

A good resource for abuse victims

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book was helpful to me because it helped me realize that I'm not crazy. I've had abusive relationships with several different individuals ("friends"), and I also attended an abusive church for seven years. The patterns described in this book are very similar to my own experiences. I think the material in this book will help me avoid toxic relationships in the future.

Ce livre redonne vraiment un but et une force de se lever contre les abus commis par certains et par nos société. Le plus dur étant d'accepter que le mal existe réellement et de comprendre comment il nous manipule, mais passé les premiers chocs, cela devient plus facile et exaltant.
