New Shoes: Stepping Out of the Shadow of Sexual Abuse and Living Your Dreams

An empowering guide to recovering from the damage of childhood sexual abuse and living with confidence In this self-help book refreshingly devoid of therapy jargon, readers will find the strength to come to terms with what happened to them in the past, to break negative behavior patterns in the present that occur as a result of past abuse, and to make their dreams for the future a reality. Written in a chatty, accessible style, it blends a range of personal experiences of recovery with professional insight and practical steps for change, and does not attempt to offer simplistic answers to a very complex and deep wound. Chapters include The Crisis of Discovery, It's a Family Affair, The Blame Game, Forgiveness, New Beginnings, and more.
