Rating: 5 / 5
This book has some helpful things in it but I did not care for the majority of the contents. It would be a good book for someone who is of lesbian orientation.

before I can give a review. I should have received it no later than 05/18 and it is now 05/27. I’m not happy about this and will not order from this seller again. I have emailed the seller and have not received a response so far.

I was attracted to the book’s “butch” approach to healing- aggressive and bold. But the more I read, the more I disliked it. There is little supportive content and advocating BDSM for healing is dangerous. The author is not a professional psychologist or councellor and it shows.
This book is for people well along the healing journey, don’t start with this text. I think “The Courage to Heal” by Ellen Bass is still the best book for survivors.

The author had written about having S/M sex. What rape victim would find the thought of being bound sexually arousing? Doesn’t she know childhood sexual assault brings about great struggles with trust? She wants the rape survivor to trust a spouse or partner to “tie them up” for sex, when the survivor can’t bring herself to feel intimate compassionate love? I was looking for help to restore a loving relationship, instead I read sections on the unthinkable. The use of the “F” word was disgusting and her terminology for sexual acts were enough to make me want to throw up and forget sex completely. I am fighting to find enjoyment in one of the most beautiful relationships a husband and wife can share. That relationship was destroyed by a rapist and this book with its ugly choice of words and descriptions has only deepened the scarring with its filth.
