Leaving the Butterfly House is an invitation to walk alongside my journey of healing from narcissistic abuse, and to take what is helpful and apply it to your own life. At its heart is a simple truth: no one needs to endure abuse, whether personal, religious, or societal, and where it has been experienced, healing is possible. 

In many ways, this book is a return to The Book of Liberty. It sets out the nature of the relationships I was in, and then gently guides the reader through a process of spiritual renewal in the loving presence of God/the Holy - shedding old identities and embracing new ones. 

My process began with accepting the reality of the relationships I had been in, which at first was hard to do due to recognising the Love of God/the Holy in all. However, not every relationship reflects that Love, and so this is where healing begins - letting go of the old, and welcoming the new. Dreams also played an essential role in unlocking my story, something I set out in the journal Nightlight for the Soul. 

I hope you are inspired to begin your own journey of healing. 

May you know and find peace where you are.
