NORMALIZING ABUSE... Do you make excuses and rationalize abuse because it is so familiar that you discount it as being normal? Many of us are enduring some kind of pervasive abuse or are witness to it and may not even be aware of it. We're being bombarded from so many directions that we have become blind to it. The abuse almost feels normal. We might sense something's not right, yet the problem is not apparent. That could be because abuse and resulting trauma are not always blatant or obvious. It can be collective, insidious and pervasive. We may also be conditioned to it so deeply that it is no longer recognized as abuse by victims, perpetrators and greater society. Normalizing Abuse - A Commentary on the Culture of Pervasive Abuse helps you to... Redefine and recognize abuse and exploitation Determine if you're experiencing trauma or enduring abuse in your life or community Offers solutions to the abuse and exploitation going on in so many of our lives Suggests practices and modalities to put you on your own healing journey Recognize you are not alone trying to survive the epidemic of abuse all around us Understand why we tolerate or inflict abuse and exploitation Learn about the bravery of whistleblowers standing up to abusers Find resources to help Recognize abuse and exploitation you probably didn't see happening in academia, armed forces, religion, corporations, workplaces everywhere, government, society and culture, among family members and friends, the media and law enforcement Transform your life with the tools suggested in Normalizing Abuse Karen Tate, thought leader, seven-times published author, podcaster, social justice activist and now, an admitted abuse survivor reveals in Normalizing Abuse: A Commentary on the Culture of Pervasive Abuse ... "I considered myself savvy, educated and an advocate for fairness and equality. I thought abuse was something that happened to others not to me." This groundbreaking book examines some of the countless ways blatant and pervasive abuse is being acculturated, endured, and immensely impacting our lives - and the lives of all with whom we interact today. It is a synthesis of observation, shared anecdotal real-life stories, hundreds of interviews, and years of research examining acculturated pervasive abuse in the hope we might better recognize it and the trauma that could result from it. In Normalizing Abuse, Karen Tate takes the reader on a serious and heartfelt journey of discovery, not just of oneself, but also aspects of society and culture--academia, government, corporations, religion, the military, the workplace and media, family and friends--to peel back the veneer hiding insidious abuse and exploitation. With dozens of prestigious endorsements and a powerful foreword written by pioneering spiritual educator Matthew Fox , well-known activist for gender and eco-justice, Normalizing Abuse is being hailed as a bullhorn for truth-telling desperately needed. It speaks to how society is rife with trauma we do not recognize and abuses we do not reject. It helps readers recognize trauma and abuse, identify the cause and have the tools to transform how they react to the situations. Today we are being called to awaken, stand up and speak truth to those wielding toxic power over us, not just for ourselves but for the future.
