One of the most pioneering and valuable contributions to the field. Dr. David K. Sakheim, co-editor of Out of Understanding Satanism and Ritual AbuseIf you know or suspect that you are a survivor of ritual abuse, you are not alone. This book is an inspiring, comprehensive guide showing that healing is possible. In a clear and gentle voice, Oksana helps demystify ritual abuse cults, and offers groundbreaking strategies for recovery. Drawing on inner wisdom and spirituality Oksana takes survivors step by step through the healing process.This has got to be, definitely, the best book yet available on ritual abuse healing. I loved the whole book. I kept saying Yes, yes, yes - this is how it isI thank you, my inner kids thank you, and I think future generations will thank you. A Survivor
An excellent, gentle, kind and safe resource for surivors of ritual abuse. This book includes instructions for the reader to stop and check in as well as triggers warnings before detailed sharing and information. Highly recommended for survivors.
It's a shame this book didn't get the attention it deserves in the field. It's an intimidating topic, and most survivors seem to buy it but then are too afraid to read it.
Best in class. A must read for mental health professionals and survivors who want to know more about ritual abuse (RA/SRA). This book discusses dissociation and DID, but is not limited to that population. The book mentions trauma based mind control, and much of what she explains applies to that form of abuse and recovery too. But she doesn't go into depth about MC. Most MC systems, however, have RA/SRA so they should read this book before trying to read the more difficult (more triggering) books by Alison Miller. (P.S. Used copies of the first print are still available for very cheap, and have the exact same content as the 20th anniversary reprint.)
Out of all the self help books I've ever read, I think this is the best. It doesn't tell you how to recover, it shares how others have recovered, and the ongoing process of recovery, and how it looks different for everyone. And I don't think this is a resource just for RA survivors, as I'm not one, but it helped enormously with my history of CSA.
This book is a whole mood. It says... something when one of the people blurbed on the back is extensively quoted through out the book. I'm reading a 1994 first edition and just woooooo.
