Highlighting the importance of a 'safe place' as the foundation of the healing process for those affected by child sexual abuse, this practical book details the factors that contribute to a secure therapeutic climate where recovery can take place. The Children and Families Project draws on the perspectives of those who have been abused to show how a person-centred approach to establishing a sense of safety can enable children and their relatives to regain trust and self-esteem. The book demonstrates how therapeutic services can be improved through feedback from service users and how creative activities such as storytelling, painting and drama can encourage the expression of experiences. The need for preventative work is also addressed. Of particular relevance to professionals is the exploration of some of the difficulties that may be encountered in this field of work, such as the tension that can arise between therapeutic work and the child protection system. This is an invaluable resource for anyone working with abused children and adults.
Safe Spaces
Early life, painful experiences, and fear can shape our reality and perception of the world. Yet by discovering a safe space within ourselves to knock down the barriers we once built to protect ourselves from trauma and heartache, we can remove the veil of a painful past to find the golden thread leading to healing and our life's purpose and fulfillment. In an empowering narrative and guide to healing and personal development, Merja Sumiloff begins by chronicling her early childhood experiences as she discovered her first place of safety while sitting on a horse named Donut. As she provides insight into her unique journey from a frightened little girl to a global citizen, entrepreneur, and author, Merja reveals her secrets about self-awareness and how to turn trauma into an incredible superpower that leads to attaining a true destiny. Included are introspective questions that encourage other survivors to bravely face the shadows to gain the comforting knowledge that our greatest gifts to the world truly lie beneath our deepest wounds. Safe Spaces shares insight into one woman’s journey as she relied on practical tools and awareness to overcome childhood trauma to find purpose through self-discovery.
