Unlock The Door - Beyond Sexual Abuse

0/5 ( ratings)

Thirty-nine contributors-1500 years of experience. Interviews, stories and poems. The topics include: Family Secrets, Trusted Others, To Punish-To Protect, A Time To Heal and Advocacy.

The way to begin resolving trauma is to talk about it, to bring it to the light of day. As one of the contributors in Unlock The Door states, "When one person's words flow and another person listens, magic happens." In this book people speak and we, the readers, listen. And we must listen. Gabor Maté M.D.

The main theme in the book is the focus on healing and moving beyond victimization as well as educating others about this devastating social issue. Survivors of sexual abuse often feel isolated and alone, Unlock The Door gives a voice to those who have not yet spoken, by allowing us to remember that we are not alone. Karen, Survivor. Unlock the Door provides readers with a courageous, candid and unflinching account of the heart-wrenching lived experience of child abuse. Through sharing her own and others’ stories, Deb Maybruy provides validation and hope to survivors whose lives, through no fault of their own, have been shaken body and soul. Her writing is terse, her point sharp and abundantly clear. Victims need a justice system that better serves their needs and more services capable of supporting their journey to wellness. Dr. Fred Matthews, psychologist.
