This book is mostly aimed at Professionals and those working with people who are, or who have experienced mental health issues in relation to adverse childhood experiences and sexual abuse. The book begins by exploring an in depth, focused account of the journey the writer went through when living through these traumatic experiences.
The reader is invited to understand this particular journey in order to be able to explore the journal entries and reflections from an analytical perspective. The entries are themselves graphic and explicit, creating imagery that allows the reader to fully immerse themselves into the writers mind. This is intended to challenge the reader and their understanding of mental health issues in relation to sexual abuse, it’s trail of destruction and consequences when not acknowledged.
The book then enlightens the reader of how recovery is achieved when the right support is given and most importantly how critical that support is. This book drives home the message that there is a very fine balance between life and death and acknowledges the huge responsibility a therapist has when presented with that balance. Just as a lifesaving surgeon holds a heart in their hands, a therapist holds a mind in theirs.
