ABSTRACT
Many survivors turn to counselling or books like this because some sort of a crisis or trigger has caused them to have to fi nd ways to deal with past abuse experiences. A signifi cant relationship may have ended and you want to work out how to change the way you are in relationships. Your child may have turned the age when you were abused. Someone in your family may have disclosed abuse they experienced and you may have been thrown into thinking about the abuse you experienced too. The offender may have come back into your life. You may have begun having nightmares about the abuse for no apparent reason.
