Healing Childhood trauma 2-1 Series

If you were sexually abused as a child or minor and its consequences still affect your life, read this.

You are no longer alone. For years, I didn't understand the source of my anger. Past and present were tangled, leaving me feeling rejected and abandoned. To find clarity, I tried several therapeutic approaches, alone and in groups. The secret buried in my memory poisoned my life. All I wanted was to feel better, but I didn't know how.

Years passed before I discovered the truth. My life felt like a windswept leaf—frustration and anger ruled me. It wasn't until I hit rock bottom—overreacting to comments, without a job or money, asked to move out—that my body reminded me of the trauma I had buried: childhood sexual abuse.

Common behaviors among victims include:

Trust issues

Taking care of others at their own expense

Persistent anger or panic

Overreacting to remarks

Living aimlessly or trying to escape

Inability to focus on real needs or make decisions

Difficulty identifying priorities

Possible post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Talking about such pain is difficult, yet its effects often lead to destructive behavior. Joining a support group helped me understand that victims of childhood sexual abuse are survivors. Through readings and exercises with the group, I learned to recognize my wounds and name long-repressed emotions.

If you believe your life could be better without anger or shame, this book is for you.
