Healing Sexual Trauma Guided Journal

“Where was this guide when I was fleeing a threatening marriage and crying out to the universe, ‘Why is this happening again and what is wrong with me?’ Childhood, tween, and teen sexual abuse causes deep trauma wounds. This guided journal covers the gamut of how to stop the aftermath and horrors that continued into much of my adult life. Thank you for this guide, it has changed my life. I am free!

“Both journaling and somatic practices are highly effective methods of healing, and Erika has provided excellent examples of each in this powerfully effective guided journal. She provides cutting-edge information, innovative somatic exercises, and excellent writing prompts to help readers counter such issues as dissociation, shame, panic attacks, nightmares, triggers, and flashbacks—and envision a brighter future. I highly recommend this book to survivors of sexual trauma.”
