 What a relief! July 21, 2008
I finally understand what was happening to me. This book helped me and my husband through this horrible ordeal. I am now able to communicate to him what I am feeling, he now undersands what I went through. I highly recommend to any survivor who is just beginning their journey of healing.
Finally Understanding June 17, 2008
This book is an excellent guide towards discovering the innermost effects that sexual abuse can have on an individul over time. The information is so familiar that, at times, it can be overwhelming to read. Chapter 8 contains helpful suggestions to direct abused indivduals toward healing and healthy sexual behavior. I finally felt like all of my feelings and fears were being described in a way that I had never been able to communicate. This book has helped me to understand my actions and has changed the ways in which I view myself.
It Speaks to Me. August 15, 2007

This book was not easy to read.
However. Over and over again it phrased things in the perfect way. I can only read it a few pages at a time. I'm only halfway through, and I'm still inching along. When I'm ready to see, ready to learn, ready to be moved, I read this book.
It's wonderful accompanyment to "Courage to Heal" it takes a much more straightforward approach, and is more heartbreaking to read.
What I like about it is that there is a LOT of work that a single person can do in there. It's not dependent on being in a romantic relationship.
Exc ellent Practical Guide August 13, 2007
This book is a very practical easy to read step by step process to help recover from abuse. My partner is currently reading it and I have read "Allies in Healing" which is a great supplement for this book if you're in a relationship trying to cope with this type of recovery. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to acknowledge the problem and improve their relationship.

This book helps any survivor realize that they are not alone in this healing journey. There are plenty of actual accounts of survivors and their stories. Along with lists that help connect the dots with our current behaviors and the past. Eye opening and soul serching this book is a life saver.
