Summary:
"
Childhood
sexual
abuse
(CSA) is not only an assault on the body -- it is also an assault on the mind and spirit. In addition to imposing a significantly higher rate of conditions like depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder,
sexual
exploitation, intimate partner violence, suicidality, and substance
abuse
, the most devastating consequences of
childhood
sexual
abuse
is
shame
. '
Freedom
at
Last
' will help former victims recover from all aspects of this extreme
shame
and its damaging after-effects. In this groundbreaking book, leading psychotherapist Beverly Engel reveals the truth about how
shame
affects victims, explains the nuances behind the emotion of
shame
, and teaches readers how to develop more self-awareness about how
shame
has manifested in their lives, along with powerful and effective shame-reduction strategies. Not only does
shame
from CSA cause a multitude of problems, this very same
shame
stands in the way of a victim's ability to recover and heal. '
Freedom
at
Last
' offers effective strategies for not only
healing
the negative effects of abuse-related
shame
, but also the emotional barriers to disclosing
abuse
and seeking help due to difficulties trusting others and self-blame. Using research along with her thirty-five years of experience working with victims of child
sexual
abuse
, Engel provides a blueprint for readers to overcome the debilitating effects of
shame
, including strategies for emotional release, disclosing the
abuse
, practicing self-forgiveness, eliminating shame-causing behaviors, including
sexual
compulsions and addictions."
