The Mountain Within: A Woman's Path out of Narcissistic Abuse and Coercive Control to Reclaiming Herself

£12.99

You are not stupid. You are not weak. And you are not alone.

From the outside, Jo’s life looked more than fine. She’d built a business, raised two sons, and was the person everyone else brought their problems to. Then a man she had never met in person made her feel more understood than she’d ever felt in her life.

This is the true story of what happened next — and of everything underneath it that made it possible: a childhood where love was never said out loud, a lifetime of being warm, loyal and loving in a world that taught her those things were weaknesses to be used.

In three parts — Waking Up, Coming Home to Yourself, and Walking Free — Jo traces the path from coercive control and gaslighting through to the hard, real work of teaching her body it was safe again and rebuilding who she is. Each chapter closes with A moment to reflect — gentle prompts to make the story your own.

Not a clinical manual. A hand held out by a woman who has lived it.

By the author of the companion workbook Reclaiming You: The Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Workbook. Book One of the Free To Be Me series.
