“As practical as it is powerful.”— Marilyn Van Derbur, author, Miss America by Day

Healing Steps: A Gentle Path to Recovery for Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse is a step-by-step guide to healing from the deep pain of early sexual abuse. Such profound abuse touches the core of a woman’s being: in unwanted memories, confusing feelings, distorted self-image, ongoing relationship struggles, and more. This frank and thorough book, written by a therapist who has herself survived sexual abuse, offers clear-eyed advice, stories of struggles and recovery, and most importantly, exercises to guide you in your own healing.

If you’re a sexual abuse survivor, it’s difficult to know how to begin freeing yourself of the past so you can be fully present for your future. Let this book be your guide. And if you’re currently in therapy (or if you are a therapist) and want a focus for your work, this book can be used as a blueprint for your therapeutic work. When you read this book, you will realize that you are not alone: you are on a journey that many have walked before – and that many are walking with you now.
