“Relationship Red Flags” is one of most clearly written, practical guides on identifying abusive relationships I’ve seen. It offers wonderful ways to reflect and take action. RRF lays out the signs - some that can be quite subtle if you aren’t looking for them - of abusive language and behavior.
I wish I had this book as a teen, it would have saved me a lot of "learning experiences". The way the workbook is laid out is excellent in walking you through all the material and allowing you to really focus on your past relationships. This is an excellent tool for anyone who finds themselves in red flag relationships, and want to stop that trend. Highly recommend this workbook to everyone, though.
Whether you are a survivor of intimate partner violence or not, this workbook is a fantastic resource to help you identify unhealthy patterns and warning signs. Unlike many other "self-help" books, Elizabeth’s tone is accessible, inclusive, and non-judgmental. Plus, the book's "engage" activities help you to relate the topics to your own life and experiences directly. It's an excellent tool for evaluating your current relationship or building your next relationship.
The work was interesting and powerful. There is power in writing things out. I also learned that I could sit with my trauma, think critically with self-love and not just shut down my brain. Thank you, Elizabeth!
I have worked with survivors for 15+ years. Relationship Red Flags is the culmination of those many years of work and research, including the experiences of 100+ survivors of partner violence. Readers can move at their own pace through the red flags, clear strategies, simple facts and personalized reflection activities. The workbook was designed to be practical and informative. It is trauma-informed, survivor sensitive (no victim blaming!) and LGBTQ+ affirming.
Relationship Red Flags: The 10 Secrets You Need to Know is a personal growth workbook that arrives in your inbox as a downloadable PDF. It is a digital item.
