Download or read book The Wounded Healer True Story of a Child Sexual Abuse Survivor written by Dr Priya Saklani and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2018-12-15 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Slippers would break, rods would break, my skin would break and bleed, my clothes would stain, but my spirit remain untouched." Throughout her childhood, Priya Saklani had only one friend 'FEAR, ' which was constant. She can't recollect the time when she felt needed. She completely lacked the knowledge or understanding of what human affection meant because the only reason why people touched her was to abuse her. Longing for affection, Priya felt nothing more than an object who was being passed on from one man to another. There was more to her than her body. In what might seem dark for some readers initially, The Wounded Healer depicts the undying strength and courage of a spirit who rose from the ashes like a phoenix and became a warrior from a victim. The pain had a lot to teach her as she channelized that suffering as a stepping stone to a higher state of consciousness, treating her scars like trophies. Priya turned her wounds to wisdom, healing herself and today she is using that wisdom to help others heal. The Wounded Healer - A memoir of Priya Saklani, details a compelling and ferocious insight into a mind and life of a victim of complex trauma, demonstrating just how childhood affects every aspect of your life. "This heart-wrenching memoir explores some of the most contentious and systematically evaded problems plaguing society. Home - the supposed receptacle of warmth, comfort, and security - has all too often been among the foremost spaces of a woman's agony. Domestic violence and sexual abuse are daunting impediments in the way of people discovering their sense of identity and self-worth. The Wounded Healer is an essential read that disambiguates the many layers and forms of abuse one can suffer, as a girl and as a woman. Priya Saklani poignantly charts the passage of her struggle against such odds toward becoming a healer for sufferers of a similar plight." -Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (Oscar winner director)

Readers seeking wholeness will discover saints with wounds like their own, whose stories bear witness to the transforming power of grace. Eden explores different dimensions of divine love—sheltering, compassionate, purifying, etc.—to help those sexually wounded in childhood understand their identity in the abiding love of Christ.

Book excerpt: Only about 1% of our children are able to tell that someone hurt them sexually. Parents are concerned of the sexual offenders register list, but many of these sexual predators are in our family. I want my story to change how we as parents handle the trauma of our children, who have been sexually abused. I want my story to help children break the silence that they are terrorized into keeping. I want them to be able to tell all. I want parents to let God heal them of the guilt and embarrassment of someone sexually abusing their child, while they are helping the Police and DA prosecute these offenders. Our children need our help to be able to tell about their trauma and who did it. In addition, the law enforcement needs our help. I have designed an Angel Doll that holds a heart in her hands.

I want to join up with a group to distribute the Angel Doll and Aslan Lion to as many girls and boys who have been sexually abused as I can.
Download or read book Damaged written by Lorina Pyle and published by . This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DAMAGED is the first in The Unbelievable Story About My Truth series that chronicles the author's life from being Damaged as an innocent child by sexual, physical and mental abuse; then suffering the RIPPLES of consequences from the choices she made in an attempt to find her way after escaping, as well as the ripple effects on those she let, and brought, into her life; to being set FREE from the ravages of post-traumatic stress disorder through the truly divine processes of healing she was led to find. In Damaged, Lorina embarks upon a journey that goes back in time not easily forgotten; where she revisits the dark and horrifying memories of her experiences that no child should ever have to encounter. Stolen away from her mother as a toddler, she became a pawn in her father's life of broken marriages. She was tormented by a mentally ill, alcoholic step-mother whose son, in secret, violently tortured and sexually abused her for a decade. Trapped in a home where she was forced to perform despicable sex acts by her step-brother; receiving physical and mental abuse on a daily basis from her step-mother through the denial of food, water, even appropriate clothing while suffering punishments played out in cruel rituals; Lorina's life was a living hell. She constantly lived in fear and was brainwashed by those who were supposed to love and protect her into believing that she was worthless and would never be deserving of anyone's love. Lorina shares her experiences as honestly, and sometimes graphically, as possible to help those suffering as she did, to know that she has lived their pain, but also to help teachers, parents and others in the lives of children to watch for the signs that are present if you know what to look for. She wants you to remember that her story doesn't end here. Lorina's universal message is that It's Never Too Late to Tell and true healing can happen to even the most lost and wounded. Today she is no longer a victim but she needed her readers to take this first part of her life's journey with her to understand how she became so... Damaged.
