This is a very good and very relevant self-help book about overcoming the negative effects of a toxic family environment. The author's relatable examples and practical guidance create a compassionate atmosphere, making it accessible for anyone seeking healing from growing up in a less-than-loving family environment. This book doesn't just scratch the surface; it dives deep into the complexities of these dynamics and how emotional, physical, and mental trauma can persist into unhealthy behaviors later in life. The lasting effect on a person's psyche and how to properly start to heal from those experiences. Most importantly the book is delivered with optimism and honesty by the author which gives hope to the reader that they too can begin their journey of healing. As someone who has unfortunately dealt with, and is still dealing with these issues as well, this book was a welcomed addition to dealing with such negativity. Highly recommend.

I think this is perhaps suited more for younger people (20s) or teens. I’m in my 40s and have always been the family scapegoat. I didn’t find the book that helpful. It had common sense stuff I already knew about self care and boundaries. I wish the author talked more about when you choose to cut out toxic family members and the pain that comes with that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shed the label Scapegoat
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2023
It is a nice touch that the author provides a workbook to use in conjunction with the main book. Family dynamics are very interesting especially in large families. Placing labels on certain members of the family can and will leave a stigma that impacts one's self worth. The author defines why and how labels are assigned and how to fight back for your self esteem.

For those of us that have lived with a label that is not flattering or is down right nasty, i suggest this read is perfect to help in addressing.

This book has helped me understand the complexities and roots of the scapegoat phenomena.
Setting limits/boundaries was much needed in my life and this book taught me powerful techniques to refute the scapegoat label. Dealing with some family members is hard this book definitely makes it easier.
The best part of the book is learning healing therapies that place a strong emphasis on self-worth and self-love. Highly recommend this read!

As someone who has always been fascinated by the concept of self-fulfilling prophecy, I found this book incredibly relevant. It is so important to advocate that one's labels do not define them- perception does not define you- and with enough willpower you can outgrow and smash those labels. Brilliant!
