WRITTEN WITH LOVE AND A LITTLE BIT OF CHAOS

Unmasking the Hidden Harm is a clarity guide for anyone who has lived through or quietly questioned the kind of harm that doesn't leave bruises, but leaves a mark all the same. The kind of harm that creeps in slowly. That erodes your confidence, twists your intuition, and leaves you unsure whether what you experienced was even real.

This guide was born from years of navigating that confusion myself - of gaslighting dressed as love, control wrapped in intellectual language, and subtle emotional manipulation that made me question my own memory, instincts, and worth. And in every conversation I’ve had since, whether with survivors, professionals, or people just starting to wonder if something was wrong, I’ve heard the same text book story.

This is the textbook for their textbook, the invisible one they all seem to follow, as if they’ve been part of the same playbook, the same unspoken script, the same quiet club of harm that shows up in story after story, always slightly different, but unmistakably familiar.

This guide is for anyone trying to understand covert abuse

You don’t need to be sure it was abuse to use this guide. You don’t need a diagnosis. You don’t even need to know what happened, only that something didn’t feel right.

This guide was created for:

• People who are beginning to question a dynamic that felt/feels confusing or diminishing

• Survivors looking for language to describe what they’ve lived through

• Therapists, coaches, and facilitators supporting clients through relational trauma

• Friends and family who want to understand what covert abuse actually looks and feels like

• Anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how harm can occur without visible wounds

Why this matters

Most people associate abuse with visible violence. But covert abuseis subtle. It’s psychological, emotional, spiritual, and often relational.

It hides inside relationships that look supportive on the outside.
It’s rationalized. Even celebrated.

That’s what makes it hard to name. And harder to explain.

Unmasking the Hidden Harm was created for that moment of doubt, for when you start asking questions like:

• Was I overreacting?

• Why do I feel so confused all the time?

• Why do I miss someone who made me feel smaller?

• Why can’t I explain what happened in a way people understand?

What this guide is

It’s not a workbook.
It’s not a self help manual.
It’s not a step by step healing plan

It’s a clarity tool.

Unmasking the Hidden Harm is a trauma aware guide designed to name what covert abuse looks like, feels like, and does to a person’s sense of self.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Straightforward breakdowns of emotional and psychological control tactics

• The patterns of manipulation, minimization, and distortion that make covert abuse hard to see

• A Red Flag Tracker for personal reflection

• Language that helps survivors and observers make sense of the fog

• Guidance written in accessible, validating, and professional terms

She Has Risen is not a gentle return. It is a resurrection.

This poetry-driven workbook was created for the woman who has clawed her way out of silence, fog, or someone else’s narrative and is now standing at the threshold of her own life again. Not the life she performed. Not the life she tolerated. The life she’s finally ready to claim.

This is not about becoming who you were before the harm.
It’s about becoming who you were meant to be after it.

Inside these pages, you will be guided through a series of raw, evocative poems and reflective prompts that help you reconnect with the voice you muted, the instincts you doubted, and the fire you buried to survive. Each section invites you to explore the truths you avoided, the parts of yourself that waited underground, and the power that has been rising quietly in the dark.

This workbook will help you:

• Identify what broke you and what it awakened

• Rebuild your inner authority after gaslighting, confusion, or erosion

• Reclaim the pieces of yourself that were silenced

• Rewrite the internal narratives that kept you small

• Stand in the fullness of your truth without apology

• Honor the version of you who didn’t give up, even when she almost did

These pages are not about perfection, forgiveness, or performing healing for others.
They are about resurrection - the moment you stop shrinking and finally rise.

She Has Risen is a companion for the woman who knows she is no longer who she once was…
and refuses to return to the version of herself that made others comfortable.

This is your rebirth on your own terms.
This is where you rise.
