Warrior Within : Healing Childhood Abuse. Book 1 How Trauma Effects the Brain,Personal Values and Affirming Self Worth

An estimated one in every four girls and one in six boys are sexually abused at least once before their eighteenth birthday. For most of these children though, they are abused multiple times and over a period of time by their perpetrator.
 Many of these crimes will go unreported by the child until late adulthood ( if ever reported at all). This leads the individual to develop a vast number of personal and interpersonal struggles. Lack of trust in others, low self esteem, lack of self worth, relationship issues and issues creating boundaries are to name a few, not to mention that mental health conditions that sexual abuse trauma creates such as severe depression and anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder to name but a few. When an abuse survivor begins to come to terms with the historic abuse they encountered in their childhood, they are offered medication for mental health issues and are offered therapy sessions to deal with their past traumas. But as well as dealing with current mental health and past traumatic experiences, at some point a survivor must also adopt a more holistic approach to their healing in order to overcome their poor self esteem and negative self view to go forward and live a fuller and happier life. The learning, practice and incorporation of these skills into a survivor's daily life are essential to them building a life after dealing with a traumatic past.
 In this series of self help books I will share with you the daily practices that I discovered and incorporated into my own healing journey that allowed me to overcome my own experiences of childhood sexual abuse, emotional abuse and neglect. Practices from a variety of fields such as psychology, holistic remedies and life coaching. 
Learning about the practices in these books, and more importantly putting them into consistent practice in daily life, you will also be able to overcome the devastating effects that can overshadow a survivor's entire life.
Almost all survivors I have met in person and online via chat groups and forums have told me the same thing. They get help in therapy sessions for dealing with the past, but do not get help to move forward into the future, which keeps them held in a place of always healing, but never being healed because they do not know or have been shown how to move forward.
If you are tired of feeling stuck and tormented by the events of your past then start by learning and using the practices in these books to get your life back.
Note: The exercises in this book are not meant to replace professional therapy, but to be used alongside professional help you heal from the trauma of childhood abuse.
