The Survivor's Guide: To Recovery from Rape and Sexual Abuse [Paperback]

Every day, all over the world, millions of people, young and old, live with the harsh realities of rape and sexual abuse. Many of them believe they are alone in coping with a range of feelings from isolation and helplessness to guilt and low self-esteem.

But they are not alone.

The Survivor's Guide is for every one who is affected by abuse issues – whether a survivor themselves, a friend, relative, health professional or counsellor. It offers helpful and friendly advice that can be used in everyday situations to encourage survivors to work through the emotions that they feel and to develop a wonderful vision for themselves of the person they want to be and the life they want to live - not just making do with surviving.
This book features a collection of unique illustrations to portray the stories of survivors of rape or sexual abuse in easy-to-read chapters.

Funded purely by goodwill and donations, The Survivor’s Guide is the result of an ambitious campaign by a team of volunteers at UK support group RoSA (Rape or Sexual Abuse Project) who were frustrated by the lack of self-help literature for abuse victims worldwide.
It was written and produced with the backing of professional women’s organisation Soroptimist International of Rugby, UK, who fundraised tirelessly for a year to get the project off the ground.

The first book written by survivors, for survivors of rape or sexual abuse - and for partners, family and friends of survivors or professionals working in this field. This book takes the reader on a journey of exploration and understanding, helping survivors to come to terms with their experiences and to live full and rewarding lives.
