I purchased this book on recommendation of my therapist. I am a survivor of emotional, physical and sexual child abuse. I almost killed myself during the last year. After having 4 doctors, who did not know my childhood background, recommend I get into therapy, I finally did. I am reading tons of books and filling out the courage to heal workbook, as I start addressing these childhood tradgies. The most important thing I have gained from the book so far, I'm not crazy, I'm not alone (the numbers are staggering), my negative behavior can be modified, and I can possibly find peace and stop negatively impacting all the people I come in contact with. Iif you are a survivor, or suspect that you are, read this and anything else you can get your hands on. You deserve to have what happened to you validated and to seek help to improve your life and peace. Thanks to all the people out there that can say "INCEST" and are trying raise public awareness and provide support so all of us survivors can heal and stop the pain. I am 49 years old, female and was sexually violated by two offenders. I talked about the first offender, my uncle, when I was 18, it got swept under the rug and basically justified by saying I was mentally unstable. The memories of my father are just now presenting themselves. Your not crazy and it's not your imagination, and this book does a fantastic job explaining and showing how badly this affects your adult life and especially your relationships.

this workbook was recommended to me by my psychologist, i havent read the book (i hate reading) that inspired this workbook- and you dont need to to get excellent results. davis knows its hard to figure what it is that your feeling so a lot of the questions have example answers which are so helpful in finding your own. ive recommended it to friends who are children of alcholic parents and those who were verbally abused... they were helped in gaining strength and a better outlook as well.

These ladies get to the facts in a gentle, move "foward" manner. Most in AA speak of the "Black Book" or Bible of AA. Well, this is the Black Book for CSA Survivors. Best of all, they do NOT exclude lesbian survivors with all the myths surrounding those issues. Nor, do the exclude male survivors.
Tuff issues, tuff topics, tuff healing... Hence the word "survivor not victim". Excellent book for a gift or to get someone on the road to recovery.
