OUTSTANDING BOOK ON SO MANY LEVELS!!!!!! You do not have to be a survivor of sexual abuse to get a lot from this book. You could be a person who can relate to being abused, in my case narcissistic and emotional abuse, and the healing and pains touched upon are very trauma informed. Therapist designs healing journey from a series of workshops that serve as guideposts for survivors of emotional, physical and sexual abuse. By focusing on the group healing community experience of telling one's story, the author overcame her own personal limitations during a time of serious illness in order to clarify her life mission and create something wonderful and empowering to share. She does not touch with ethnicity and race in the book which is unfortunately common for so many white authors, but as survivor of emotional and narcisistic abuse I was able to benefit so much from her work.
