Book excerpt: “Anyone who had a troubled childhood ought to read this book.”—Anne H. Cohn, D.P.H., Executive Director, National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse Do you have trouble finding friends, lovers, acquaintances? Once you find them, do they dump on you, take advantage of you, or leave? Are you in a relationship you know isn't good for you? Are you still trying to figure out what you want to do when you grow up? Are you drinking too much, eating too much or trying to numb your pain with drugs of any kind? These are just a few of the problems abused children experience when they become adults. You may not realize you were abused. You may think your parents didn't mean it, didn't know better, or that others had it much worse. You may not even have made the connection between the past and your current problems. Outgrowing the Pain is an important book for any adult who was abused or neglected in childhood. It's an important book for professionals who help others. It's a book of questions that can pinpoint and illuminate destructive patterns. The answers you discover can lead to a life filled with new insight, hope, and love. “The best book available to help survivors cope and understand.”—Dan Sexton, Director, Childhelp's National Abuse Hotline “An invaluable aid for adult survivors of child abuse.”—Suzanne M. Sgroi, M.D., Executive Director, New England Clinical Associates

Download or read book The Abused and the Broken written by Cole Cardenas and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The smallest things can change the entire course of our lives forever. For Daniel, all he'd ever known was pain and loneliness. Between abusive foster homes and constant bullying at school, he stayed in a constant state of fear, always starved for affection. For Luther, Daniel's lifelong bully, his life was filled with needless violence to fill a hole he couldn't explain. Luther's absent parents and cold upbringing left him trapped in his own façade as an emotionless shell. When unfortunate circumstances bring these two together, and Luther becomes protector rather than tormentor, neither boy will ever be the same. A toxic, dangerous, secret relationship blooms. Daniel is plunged into a life based on actually living, not just surviving. Luther must learn how to feel and process other emotions, rather than just rage. With threats around every corner, things are far from easy. Between worst fears, betrayals, fistfights, and a new monster altogether, Luther and Daniel go through hell and back. Will they both make it out alive, or will one forever be lost without the other?

Download or read book Counselling the Abused Christian Woman written by Laraine Birnie and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out a simple guide for counsellors to help an abused woman move from being a victim to taking control of her life and relationships. First the woman is helped to understand if her positive personality traits such as hopefulness and deep empathy have resulted in her missing potential warning signs in an abusive relationship. We then move on to determine whether the person abusing the woman has features of a personality disorder. Such individuals are often abusive because of their unhealthy beliefs and attitudes towards others. If this is the case then the woman needs to let go of the hope that she can change her abuser as well as the guilt she may be carrying for the relationship not working. Other unhealthy past relationships are explored and these include her parents or other family members which may have predisposed her to tolerate abusive behaviour. The next stage includes educating the woman about practical strategies of assertiveness to deal with the abusers in her life. Throughout the sessions we provide her with the compassion of a listening ear, and validation for her courage. We help her understand that even though she has not received the love she had hoped for, she is still a beloved worthwhile child of God. She is then able to make a decision as to whether to stay in the abusive relationship or leave. In either case the goal is for her to take control of her life, deal assertively with the unhealthy people who are abusing her and learn how to choose healthy friends and become a healthy person herself.

Miller, emeritus professor of psychology at the Florida State University, Tallahassee, who had spent much of his professional life focused on mental disability law and the relations between the mental health and the criminal justice systems, decided to volunteer for a couple years in the Department of Children and Families in Florida to try to understand why they were getting such bad press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letters to the Abused focuses on how a relationship begins, and how it ends. Letters to the Abused came about in 1999. I had been in a bad relationship which resulted in Prison time for the man who abused me. From there I kept adding on. One bad relationship after another. My goal is to reach out to those who are in a bad relationship, who feels there is no way out. There is staying in the relationship is not only bad for the person who is in it but the children involved as well. The cycle needs to be stopped. Many times easier said than done. We all at one point or another believe in second chances past that it will not stop it keeps happening. Abusers many times make the abused feel as though they are the ones who ask to be hit, that they deserve what they get. Not true in all cases, but most abusers, are down on themselves for one reason or another, in turn they take it out on another defenseless person. Keep in mind there is a way out, as my poetry has pointed out. No one deserves to be abused.
