About this listen

Eroded Realities: Patterns of Abuse and the Path to Autonomy by Dr. Marie Filion is a powerful exploration of psychological abuse and coercive control in intimate relationships, told through compelling true stories. This groundbreaking work combines narrative storytelling with evidence-based research to illuminate the often invisible patterns of manipulation that can erode one's sense of reality and self.

The book follows the journeys of three women—Isla, Anne, and France—as they navigate relationships with partners who employ sophisticated tactics of control: gaslighting, undermining, isolation, and psychological manipulation. Dr. Filion masterfully demonstrates how these patterns develop gradually, making them difficult to recognize until the damage is profound. These narratives reveal the particular dangers when abusers leverage systems, children, and social perceptions against their victims.

What sets this book apart is its integration of clinical insights, including analysis of personality disorder patterns commonly found in abusive partners. The book concludes with comprehensive, evidence-based guidance for recognizing coercive control and safely escaping these relationships, with special attention to protecting children caught in these dynamics.

Unflinching yet ultimately hopeful, Eroded Realities validates the experiences of countless survivors while providing concrete strategies for reclaiming autonomy and rebuilding lives after abuse. This essential resource will resonate with survivors, enlighten helping professionals, and educate anyone seeking to understand the complex realities of psychological abuse.
