The published book

The book offers a path
back to yourself.

Survivors Anonymous is for people who have survived abuse, coercive control or complex trauma and want a structured way to understand what happened, honour what kept them alive and explore what comes next.

Tania Brown brings professional practice and lived experience together with a reimagined twelve-step pathway, reflections for supporters, and readings designed for future peer-led rooms.

From chapter one

Read a sample.

“I never set out to write a book like this. I set out to survive.

Like many of us, I learned how to keep going long before I ever learned how to live. I learned how to read a room before I understood my own feelings. How to sense tension before a word was spoken. How to adjust myself—quietly, quickly—to keep things from escalating.

I became skilled at shrinking. At softening my voice. At choosing my words carefully. At staying silent when something didn’t feel right.”

— Tania Brown, Survivors Anonymous, ch. 1
