A memoir of love, loss, and finding yourself after years of disappearing inside someone else’s story.
Slow Erosion is a deeply personal memoir about the gradual loss of self that can happen inside a relationship shaped by control, manipulation, and emotional abuse.
Through her own story, Tricia Chandler reveals how the patterns of devaluation, confusion, and self-doubt can take hold over time, and the difficult, courageous journey of recognizing what has happened and finding the way back to herself.
Part memoir, part reflection on the dynamics of narcissistic abuse, Slow Erosion offers a compassionate look at the moments when we begin to question our own reality, reclaim our voice, and choose ourselves again.
Available through major online retailers and by special order through bookstores.
Signed copies are available directly from Tricia Chandler.
Praise for Slow Erosion
“Slow Erosion is a treasure trove for anyone who has experienced narcissistic abuse. Tricia Chandler has courageously allowed us to see into her world, to be a witness to her remarkable journey from childhood until now. Through her stories, she brilliantly explains the dynamics and nuances of control, manipulation, and devaluing behavior, and how these affect us over time. This book is filled with profound insights, emotional intelligence, and her inspiring story of coming back to herself.”
