FORT MYERS, Fla. (PRWEB) January 16, 2018 -- In her new book, “Wife Beater Shirt Optional: There is no dress code for domestic violence” (published by Balboa Press), Laura Streyffeler, Ph.D., LMHC, hopes to bring awareness of the impact of trauma into focus by giving examples of the mindset and behaviors of victims and abusers.

A mix of both the academic and real-life perspective, “Wife Beater Shirt Optional” presents information about abusive and controlling relationships from the perspective of a mental health counselor. The book was inspired by clients Streyffeler interacted with who didn’t think they were being abused because the abuse was in the form of emotional, psychological or sexual coercion rather than physical violence.

Streyffeler wants her readers to learn that “loving someone does not have to mean accepting unacceptable behavior.”
