Mask: From Victim to Winner. How to Recognize an Abuser, Regain Control, and Start a New Life

You did not pick up this book by chance. Not out of idle curiosity, not out of love for psychology, not in search of another inspiring quote. You have likely tried more than once to convince yourself that everything is... fine. That "everyone goes through this", that "it's just character", that you probably "demand too much". And that is exactly why this book is not about accusations. And not about hostility. It is about the truth. In this book we will discuss important topics: • The essence of abuse: you will learn about the psychology of the aggressor, the cycle of violence, and the behavior of the victim. • A complete description of common forms of violence: gaslighting, wrist-holding, neglect, hoovering, love bombing, victim blaming, future faking, bullying, physical and maternity abuse. • The mechanism of codependent relationships: their signs, consequences, and causes, and most importantly, how to get out of them. You will also find exercises and tests in the book that will help identify signs of abuse and choose yourself. "May reading this book become a true immersion into yourself. May each chapter be a bold step - towards freedom, towards strength, towards tenderness. Do not rush. Do not push. Do not be afraid. Just go. And I will be here with you." Sincerely yours, Mark Barton
