“You Look A Lot Like Me is a riveting documentary about partner abuse which I recommend for survivors and clinicians. The experience and knowledge shared in this film can be a lifesaver. In this film, we witness saved lives. This unflinching work counters denial and avoidance by offering hope and healing that comes from brave, honest, open engagement. By speaking out and being heard, the cycle of isolating abuse and shaming is broken. The narrative and cases in the film build on each other. Powerful insights are shared by survivors and those who are working in the field. One caveat: don’t watch this alone. This is traumatic work for all involved: for the survivors, and their caregivers–and for the perpetrators. Use this film in a study group or in a workshop. The workbook facilitates effective processing of this difficult and critical material. Thank you for this important work!”
