Product Description
Book Description
This book is about ordinary people living in the UK today; most of whom still hide their childhoods from nearly everyone they know. With more and more survivor's biographies becoming little more than moving works of literature, this book was written to break through our social isolation on this issue. It brings a communicative bridge of understanding to a wide range of child abuse survivors whose lives seem impossible to tell apart from the norm. Through these stories, you lose your doubts about exactly what child abuse is, and how to communicate about it. You gain knowledge of its effects upon a whole range of long term adult relationships, and learn how survivors and their families might adopt various ways of healing.
Survivors' Stories also works as an excellent self-development and training resource that need not be confined to a classroom or lecture hall. It's where education gets personal, as the section 'How to Talk about Abuse' describes the necessary steps to create a safe space before you attempt to talk or listen. It gives you tools to create straightforward ongoing relationships in risky new territory.
Each separate story covers aspects everybody shares in common; Home background. Control, discipline and punishment. Good and bad bonding in relationships. School; other institutions, and relationships between institutions and principle carers. Money, possessions and resources. The form(s) that the more secret abuse took. The secret; thoughts and feelings in private and in public as a child. Telling; when did the survivor first tell, and what happened as a result? Addictive patterns with alcohol, drugs or any other forms of addiction. Becoming an adult; ambition, education, career, talent and involvement in the world. Adult relationships - how abuse affects family and other relationships; the secret few understand; living as the victim or the perpetrator of patterns of abuse (including abuse of self); irresolvable ongoing thoughts - like being `caught in a loop'. More intimate relationships & sexuality. Getting help, looking for answers, companionship, therapy and healing. Snapshot of adult life now. The final section informs us why child abuse has been so hard to address since modern times began, fuelling us with a strong motivational rationale that gives us the confidence and courage to speak our minds and contribute to this changing voice within our wider culture.
