Praise for Dr. Sherrie Campbell’s Adult Survivors of Toxic Family Members

“A must-read . . . Each chapter of her book offers profound insights into the most common struggles faced by adult survivors of toxic family dynamics.” —Kim Saeed, author of How to Do No Contact Like a Boss!

“Sherrie Campbell offers a unique and true-to-life view of what it means to separate yourself from toxic family members . . . In this book, you are given full permission to feel what you were never allowed to feel or speak about.” —Jack Canfield, coauthor of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series

Ratings and reviews

The advice in this book ranges from cliche and surface-level ("toxic people sell you a dream to give you a nightmare") to outright harmful ("when at a loss of what to do, do nothing"). It feels like the author got their understanding of therapy mainly from reading inspirational quotes on social media. The author has some encouraging and validating words, for sure, but unfortunately this book lacks any real substance in terms of psychological insight.

Sherrie's advice is practical, freeing & life changing. I've been on her Facebook page for a year & it has really helped me start setting boundaries so I can form a basis for healthier relationships.
