Faces in Broken Mirrors

About this book

A broken mirror can reveal the face hidden behind a polished reflection. Rania Al-Beheiri examines recognizable relationships rather than idealized romances: a friend who envies another person's light, a lover who turns affection into tests of surrender, and a family atmosphere that makes independence feel like guilt. Drawing on applied psychology and self-help, the book identifies emotional blackmail, coercive patterns, and the erosion of self-worth. Its purpose is not to encourage suspicion of every bond, but to help readers distinguish care from control and rebuild boundaries without shame.
