Phyllis Peterson
Assisting the Traumatized Soul reaches out to both the survivors of trauma and to those who wish to assist them. With open honesty, the author shares her painful experiences as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and how she learned to overcome the trauma. The author not only identifies what survivors of trauma can do to heal and regain a sense of self-empowerment, but also what a community or individual can do to help. There is a clear and concise step-by-step action plan that can be adopted by community support groups. Peterson carefully shows how a loss of power over ones own circumstances greatly hinders personal growth and well-being. The book is also a spiritual self-help guide for individuals who have survived the trauma of abuse, as Peterson combines her own perspective and writings of the Bah Faith. This is a valuable resource for anyone whose life is affected by trauma or abuse.
