This secular resource was helpful to me in that it gave language to particular topics I might not have thought I needed. Gil has put together a helpful little resource to help adults who experienced abuse as children determine more clearly what it was that may have taken place, while addressing some of the "survival skills" that may have been gained and maintained for several years during and after the events.

I appreciated this resource for its clarity and brevity. The purpose is to identify issues, not necessarily to resolve them. It's a book one might use to come to terms with the reality of abuse and begin to deal with it using other resources for follow up.
