DALLAS, March 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For the many women (and men) stuck at home with abusers, children to care for, and the current stress of survival overall, domestic violence survivor, Susan E Foster, author of the new book Charming Impossibles: How Ordinary Angels Help Free the Hopelessly Stuck (Clovercroft Publishing) provides tips, advice, strategies, and resources to help them escape the invisible strings of abusers.
Foster calls them "'Charming Impossibles' - 'charm' is their deceptive invisible mask and convincing lure. 'Impossible to satisfy' is their secret weapon."
But, how do you escape the abusers in your life? Why is leaving them behind while moving forward so difficult?
In this very revealing book, Foster shares her personal journey of surviving years of emotional abuse and isolation in plain sight...and the lessons learned. She also shares powerful and moving stories of others, unraveling the mysterious web of confusion surrounding abuse and overcoming difficult relationships.
In her article "Why Do We Self-Sabotage? You may be self-sabotaging without even realizing it,," Dr. Ellen Hendriksen, a psychologist, states: "Self-sabotage can interfere with the best-laid plans and goals. Why do we do it? Turns out, there are many reasons why instead of shooting for the moon, we end up aiming right for our foot. Self-sabotage is any action that gets in the way of your intent...'"
She further adds, "There are countless ways we sabotage ourselves. So why do we do it? It comes down to four big reasons: Self-Worth, Control, Perceived Fraudulence, and Familiarity of that which we know is preferable to the unknown. To summarize: it all comes down to three words: fear of failure."
Charming Impossibles is a story that describes a path to freedom for the apparently "hopelessly stuck." The result is a credible, engaging, informative, supportive, and hopeful story.
