The courage to heal
This is the bible for sexual abuse survivors, and an indispensable resource for anyone that knows a survivor. Think you don't know anyone that was sexually abused? Think again - it happens much more than most people wish to believe, and affects the survivor and their behavior much more than even most survivors wish to believe. This book is THE book for survivors that wish to continue survival, especially one of healing.
If this massive read is a bit daunting, know that you will read bits here and there, and go back to it after long expanses of time. For me, this book has paid for itself 1000 times over, at least. It's also the perfect tool for anyone in therapy, as is the companion workbook.
For anyone that is interested in this book for the purpose of supporting a survivor, the authors have written a book just for you: Allies in Healing: When the Person You Love Was Sexually Abused as a Child. There are many other books for supporters, as well, and taking the time to do the research will do as much for you and the survivor as reading the material.
Without exaggeration, this book has saved lives, including my own. If you have been abused, or suspect that you have, get this book.
