In reply to Books for survivors of child abuse?, posted by myownfeet on January 30, 2005, at 17:13:59
Here's the link for the book Frida mentioned:
"The Courage To Heal". Note that it is directed towards sexual abuse, but a lot of the information is helpful for any type of abuse.
I would recommend "Adult Children of Abusive Parents" by Steven Farmer. It talks about all types of abuse: sexual, physical, verbal, emotional as well as emotional neglect.
I've also started work on "A Gift To Myself". It is the follow up workbook to "Healing The Child Within". I quite like this workbook. It has really good questions to ask yourself to really look inside and understand yourself. But I think it is really only helpful if you are ready to do that type of work. I also think that I am finding it helpful now because I already have a fair understanding of why I am like I am. I think it would be hard to use if you were only just starting therapy.
Hope these help.
