Books on Sexual Abuse-Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse-Healing Sexual Abuse

October 6th, 2008 · 15 Comments

Healing the wounds of child sexual abuse and overcoming the effects of molestation or sexual assault is not impossible. Survivors of sexual abuse must develop the courage to heal from the past, and reading sexual abuse books may be thought of self-help for victims of sexual assault, rape or child molestation, that helps child and adult survivors work through the emotional healing of the wounded heart.

Child molestation statistics show that the long term effects of molestation on children can have detrimental effects on victims of sexual abuse, lasting throughout their adult lives and negatively affecting adult relationships and marriages. Healing sexual abuse is possible, and both child and adult victims will benefit greatly from reading about sexual child abuse in order to break free from the emotional damage child molesters inflict on their victims. Now is the time to find the courage to heal the wounds.

    quite important information here. especially given that this is one of the most horrendous things that can happen to a person, especially a child.

    Hi Lin - thanks. I’ve been struggling to find this sort of info for a little while. I’ll be having a read through some of these tomorrow.

    Kouji, it is absolutely one of the most horrendous things any person can ever go through, as a child or a teen. Having gone through this myself, as well as children of mine, these books for sexual abuse victims are just too important for healing the wounds.

    Hi Cath, many of these books are ones I’ve personally read and I can vouch for all of them for children who have been sexually abused, teenagers struggling with “acting out” behaviors, and adult survivors who are still wrestling with the pain of having been molested or raped at one point or another in their lives. Healing is possible for sure.

    Honestly, there are several cases at my working place, where the male teachers have been accused guitly for the sexual harrasament to the female students.

    And, the final judgement won’t be mercy to those psycho for sure!

    Wilson, it doesn’t surprise me one bit about the teachers. As the article mentioned above “The Profile of a Pedophile” says, child molesters purposely seek out job positions where they can be in close proximity to children in order to molest or rape children.

    That’s a great list Lin. I’ll refer some of my women to it.
    Do you know about the Teddy Tour as a collective voice for survivors:? http://www.teddy.tour.com.au
    Imaginif is displaying the Teddies and their story tags in a garden walk on October 31. Would be great to have more international tags from survivors of sexual assault.

    Hi Megan, thank you for mentioning the Teddy Tour. I think it is an awesome project for survivors of child sexual abuse. Thanks again for bringing it up.

    My counselor gave me “The Wounded Heart” and the workbook that went along with it. It was a huge part of my healing. I suggest that to any woman who was molested as a little girl.

    Hi Mandy, The Wounded Heart is an excellent sexual abuse book, and I especially like the workbook idea for survivors to find healing from their experiences.
