Über dieses E-Book

This guide to starting the healing process after childhood sexual abuse “will offer hope and help to all survivors and those who care about them” (Bessel A. van der Kolk, MD, New York Times–bestselling author of The Body Keeps the Score).

Drawn from the authors’ bestseller The Courage to Heal, this revised edition of Beginning to Heal offers guidance for adults who are just starting the process of recovering from childhood abuse. No matter how great your pain today, you can not only heal but thrive.

The book takes you through the key stages of the healing process, from crisis times to breaking the silence, grief, and anger to resolution and moving on. It includes inspirational highlights, clear explanations, practical suggestions, and compelling accounts of survivors—their pain, their strength, and their triumphs.
