"The Sexual Trauma Workbook for Teen Girls" offers healing, real-life stories from survivors and powerful, evidence-based tools to help you reclaim your life after sexual abuse or trauma.
If teens have been sexually abused or experienced sexual trauma, they may feel confused, angry, ashamed, and unable to move forward emotionally. Like many teens who've been abused, they may be tempted to keep the secret locked deep inside and feel uncomfortable discussing their struggles with others. If so, this book can help them find their voice.
This empowering workbook will help teens move past their trauma and serve as a comforting reminder that they are strong and resilient. Healing is possible and with healing, comes victory. In this book, you'll find true stories from other teen survivors, and in reading the stories teens will find reassurance in knowing they aren't alone in their experiences. You'll also find practical and proven-effective strategies and exercises to help promote emotional healing and reclaim a sense of self.
Sexual abuse or trauma may be a part of your past, but it doesn't need to define who you are now. This book will help you as you start on the path toward healing so you can move forward with confidence.
"Child sexual abuse is one of the most damaging and life-altering experiences a person can suffer. This workbook offers the guidance and support survivors desperately need by providing powerful exercises to help them deal with the associated emotions of shame, fear, sadness, and anger, as well as offering advice and strategies to help them cope with such issues as nightmares and flashbacks. I highly recommend it."

""The Sexual Trauma Workbook for Teen Girls "is an amazing book of "hope," "inspiration," and "education" from start to finish. With the sharing of different personal experiences and encouragement, this book will help any young teen at any point of their journey to recovery. As a fellow survivor of rape and sexual assault, I wish this workbook had been available for me during my time of need. Although it s been over twenty years since my rape and sexual assault, this workbook helped me today address and conquer emotions that I thought no longer existed."
