A Thousand Paper Cuts (ePub)

Can you imagine being in an abusive marriage for two decades and not even knowing it?

Have you ever wondered why she stays? How she fell for his manipulations when she's so smart? How he could possibly be abusive when he is such a good guy?

As a bright and confident therapist, successful businesswoman, author, and international speaker, Heather Boorman-Morris was the antithesis of the stereotypical abused woman. Yet, she was the woman who stayed in an abusive marriage for decades, her soul slowly disintegrating without knowing why or how.

A Thousand Paper Cuts brings readers inside the mind, heart, and experiences of a victim of covert narcissistic abuse. With raw vulnerability, Heather shares her story, from love bombing to devaluing to freedom, highlighting the destructiveness an abuser can have without ever raising his fist.

Hear the cognitive dissonance and confusion a narcissist's target experiences. Learn the subtle strategies and patterns covert abusers use. Challenge society's inaccurate conceptions of who gets abused and what abusers look like.

In A Thousand Paper Cuts, Heather gives voice for all those who can't speak, shining light into the dark corners of their lives to let them know they are not alone. Through her personal experiences and professional expertise, she raises awareness of the abuse cycle, covert psychological manipulation, and joins other advocates to shift society's narrative away from victim-blaming and toward holding abusers accountable. Most importantly, she brings hope and shows that freedom is possible.
