Publisher's Synopsis
Abuse affects millions of people every day. Dealing with trauma as an adult can be difficult especially when you have been a victim more than once. A victim of domestic abuse can leave an abusive relationship seven times before finally leaving for good. Re-victimization is more common in people who have encountered abuse before. However, cycles of abuse can lead to consequences leaving survivors to pick up the pieces.
In what I have learned from abuse survivor and advocate Mya Squillace discusses barriers that can occur as a result of abuse. She dives into real-life issues that affect survivors' day to day and breaks down the barriers to these issues. Using her own experiences, she reveals her own struggles with abuse and how it led her to a path of healing. This book will help you to validate your own experiences with abuse and open up your mind to the prospect of healing those wounds that have been affected by trauma.
