MEDIA ADVISORY, Sept. 7 /Christian Newswire/ -- Dr. Jay Grady is the Founder and CEO of Therapeia Publishing and Ask Dr. Jay Now Christian Counseling.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. How many times did we hear or chant that in response to schoolyard bullies! But the truth is, words can hurt and the negative effect can slowly erode the human spirit.
Verbal abuse, as it is known, has serious implications. According to the McGraw-Hill Concise Dictionary of Modern Medicine, the definition of verbal abuse is: A form of emotional abuse consisting of the use of abusive and demeaning language with a spouse, child, or elder, often by a caregiver or other person in a position of power.
Words can cut deep. Especially when it is someone close to you that knows your fears, tears, hurts, past or present. When someone trusts someone whether it is a friend, lover or family and that person lashes at them with hurtful words. This can harm you to the soul. Millions of hurting people, especially women, need to be set free from the effects of verbal abuse.
Dr. Jay emphasizes that now is the time to spread an awareness of the seriousness of the problem. He has recently released his life-changing book, You Are A Door Prize, Not A Doormat in an ebook format.
This book is an eye-opening description of the cause and effects of verbal abuse. It takes a hard look at the symptoms of abuse. But more importantly, it offers case studies of those who have suffered, yet have found solutions. It sends help and hope to those who thought they had none.
This is a purposeful book for everyone even if you are not directly affected by abuse. It will help identify those who could be victim around you. It is especially an important vehicle for those in the medical, clergical or education fields.
Dr. Jay, along with fellow counselor, Sue Young offer telephone services to aid those suffering from verbal abuse whether they are the victim or even the abuser. For more information on the book, You Are A Door Prize, Not A Doormat or to set up counseling, go to www.askdrjaynow.org.
