 "If
The Courage To Heal is the sine qua non for survivors of child sexual abuse, Allies in
Healing is required reading for partners and loved ones of survivors and victims."

 Betrayal Trauma : The Logic of Forgetting Childhood Abuse - "Freyd
(Psychology/Univ. of Oregon) argues that the childhood traumas that are most likely to be
forgotten are those in which betrayal is a central factor. According to her betrayal
trauma theory, forgetting certain kinds of betrayal, such as sexual abuse by a parent or
trusted caretaker, is an adaptive behavior, for by blocking out knowledge of the abuse the
child aligns with the caregiver and thus ensures his or her own survival. Such information
blockage is not unique to childhood sexual abuse, the author argues, but a common response
to everyday betrayals by trusted individuals, be they spouses or bosses or other authority
figures." |
| Sexual Abuse/Sacred Wound : Transforming Deep Trauma "Deeply moving stories of the transformative experiences of survivors of sexual abuse inspire readers to create healing opportunities for themselves. Using the expressive arts as a ground for awakening to self, the author guides the reader step by step through the profound and exciting process of recovering self while recovering memory. Like a compassionate therapist, the author who is both mature and well trained in techniques for addressing trauma, opens the window on new options for discovering wholeness. Panic attacks, eating disorders, psychosomatic illness, chronic fatigue, structural obstacles, difficulties in intimacy and relationship -- all these components of post-traumatic stress disorder are considered. Joyous and uplifting possbilities are presented for all members of the recovery population, including single parents, gays and lesbians, survivors of cult abuse, men, women and families". | |
 "Anger
is a signal and one worth listening to," writes Dr. Harriet Lerner in her renowned
classic that has transformed the lives of millions of readers. While anger deserves our
attention and respect, women still learn to silence our anger, to deny it entirely or to
vent it in a way that leaves us feeling helpless and powerless. In this vivid, engaging
and eminently wise work, Dr. Lerner teaches women to identify the true sources of our
anger and to use anger as a powerful vehicle for creating meaningful and lasting change.
This book has inspired more "You changed my life" stories from both women and
men than perhaps any other bestseller on the American scene today. The Dance of Anger has
sold more than 2 million copies and been translated into more than 30 foreign editions.

| Have you ever read Women Who Run with the Wolves?
It has a story about a woman who loves a rageful man. She goes to a healer who tells the
woman she must get a hair from the crescent bear. The woman persists and suffers thru a
terrible journey to get the hair of the bear. She found the bear, then had to woo him for
days with food and kindness. Then she brings it back to the healer who throws the hair in
the fire! "NO!" cried the woman, "What have you done?!?" The healer
said, "Remember each step you took to climb the mountain? Remember each step you took
to capture the trust of the crescent moon bear? Remember what you saw, what you heard, and
what you felt?" "Yes," said the woman, "I remember very well." The old healer smiled at her gently and said, "...go home with your new understandings and proceed in the same ways with your husband." "The story reveals an entire model for dealing with, and healing from rage: by seeking a wise and calm healing force (going to the healer), taking the challenge of going into psychic territory one has never approached before (climbing the mountain), recognizing the illusions (dealing with climbing the boulders, running under the trees), putting one's old and obsessive thoughts and feelings to rest (meeting the muen-otoke, restless spirits without relatives to bury them), soliciting the great compassionate Self (patiently feeding the bear and the bear returning her kindness), understanding the roaring side of the compassionate psyche (recognizing that the bear, the compassionate Self, is not tame). The story shows the importance of bringing this psychological knowledge down to earth in our real lives (coming down off the mountain and back into the village), learning that healing is in the process of questing and practice, not in a single idea (destruction of the hair). The heart of the story is, "Apply all these things to one's rage, and all will be well" (advice from the healer to go home and apply these principles."  |
