Product Description
RESCUING THE 'INNER CHILD' - Therapy for Adults Sexually Abused as Children - by Penny Parks. - Amid the recent welcome campaign to help child victims of sexual abuse, one group of victims has remained largely untapped: the many thousands of adults who have grown up emotionally crippled by the huge burden of guilt and self-disgust that is the legacy of child abuse, and who are now ongoing victims, unable to form mature sexual relationships, unable to function as adults. Their manifold problems are so acute that few of them can regain their emotional health without professional intervention. Many of these people are now being helped by Parks Inner Child Therapy, and in this important book Penny Parks describes her techniques so that thousands more can be reached and guided to maturity. Her aim is to get through to the hurt child at the adult's core. By showing her clients how to re-enact their childhood memories, face their experiences and receive the comfort and reassurance that they so badly needed at the time, she helps to desensitise the pain. she encourages them to vent their suppressed anger, guilt and bitterness, to understand what happened to them and gradually to grow and come to terms with themselves and their sexuality. Throughout the book her clients contribute their own experiences, not only of the past, but of the process of the therapy and restoration. Their memories and feelings make painful, often shocking reading but through them other victims and their partners will be able to work out their own necessarily hurtful path to recovery. The effects of sexual abuse have too often been belittled in the past. This book lays bare the full scale of the lasting trauma that is inflicted and provides practical and sympathetic techniques to heal the wounds.
From the Author
My heart has been warmed by the many comments from readers of my book, both on the website and in the many letters I receive, saying how much help and support they have found through my book.

From the Author
My heart has been warmed by the many comments from readers of my book, both on the website and in the many letters I receive, saying how much help and support they have found through my book.
After having resolved my own abusive childhood through the methods I’ve developed, I felt a duty to share that information with others; so my Parks Inner Child Therapy (PICT) and my self-help book "Rescuing the Inner Child" were created.
As time goes on the PICT model of therapy continues to evolve and is now taught to counsellors and therapists who can use the much quicker visualisation techniques to assist their clients to quickly, thoroughly and compassionately resolve their childhood issues. The most remarkable feature now being that clients do not even have to talk about their traumatic experiences in detail in order to resolve them.
We, here at The Penny Parks Foundation, find it very rewarding to be in a position where we can continue to help both therapists working in the field of abuse and those who are making the journey to recovery themselves.
