Our Rose-Colored Glasses: Learn about the invisible wounds from mental and emotional abuse hidden behind closed doors, the importance of speaking up … journey and pivot your pain into passion

Our Rose-Colored Glasses is a powerful combination of professional guidance and survival wisdom. Licensed therapist Victoria Alercia, LPC, synthesized decades of education from interviews with experts in the mental health field with her own training and healing journey. Readers will learn about mental, emotional, verbal, psychological, and narcissistic abuse and trauma, how to overcome fear through faith, and 10 steps to begin their own healing journeys. The book also features perspectives from domestic violence survivors. It offers hope and inspiration of connecting and unifying communities with the common dream that we all deserve to live in a healthy, safe environment. If we can agree that we all deserve to live in a healthier, safer world, we can choose to break it down by focusing on our communities, families, and ourselves.

A huge challenge to overcoming domestic violence is individual, familial, and societal beliefs. If we can learn that some of these old beliefs no longer serve us in a healthy way, then we can allow ourselves to be open to learning and doing better together. When one person speaks up about their struggles, it can clear the pathway for others to do the same and begin their healing journeys as well.
