"GREAT THERAPY TOOL" according to RAYMOND J. FERNEKES. I dont often use "self-help" workbooks with patients but this one caught my eye for one particular client I was working with, and it turned out to be the catalyst he needed for turning everything around and begin working productively toward healing his emotional wounds. I will use this book again with other clients.. One of the most helpful books I have ever encountered on this subject W.H. I have read many, many books on this subject--too many, I sometimes think.Most of these books do an admirable job of describing the feelings a survivor may be left with. Did I feel angry? Yes. Did I feel sad? Yes. Did I have conflicted feelings about my abuser and the people who failed to put a stop to it or to protect me in the first place? Yes and yes.But I could never let go of these feelings or move past them into acceptance and healing like the the people who told their stories so eloquently and articulately in the books I read. I was only three years old when the abuse took place and at that age I. Wonderfully helpful Jennifer K I've been taking this book one day at a time, only doing the exercises when I feel okay with them, and never pushing myself. I am also going to therapy. The hardest part of this book is it forces you to think about the past abuse you have suffered and if you are at a low point in your life, it can be a bad thing. So I recommend that you only do these exercises when you are in a good spot in your life and have good support. Without my husband and my therapist, I don't think this book would help as much.
