This smarmy piece of victim blaming would retraumatize any survivor who picked it up by convincing them the cure to PTSD is repenting from “sin.” I’ve never seen a book that deserved to burn in hell more, ironically

Very hard to fill out this book but was very helpful to me

As I was reading this book I could tell it was genuine. I also instantly knew it was religious. Right away it mentioned that “as soon as these terrible things happen we blame ourselves and have a relationship with our abuser” “instead of god” and that’s when I knew to stop reading. Personally everything I read in this book made me feel sort of invalidated. Like god could solve all of my problems. Like god was the hero in this situation. I understand for religious people this book is perfect but I want to feel good about what has happened in the past and grow and be better with myself and love myself. So it was not the right fit for me.

This book is an intense study. I highly recommend it, even if you only suspect that you have some sort of sexual abuse history. It's not a "fun" read. The author is very detailed and kind of dry. However, I felt so much closure when I completed the study. It also has a companion book that you should get with it. There is also an audio segment.

this is a great workbook to look at the issues and challenges that relate to childhood sexual abuse issues. It really gives you insight into your behaviors and how you relate to yourself, others and God. It really helps to understand what happened to you and how to set boundaries.
