Beginning to Heal

by Ellen Bass and Laura Davis

Published 19 March 1993
For women just beginning to recover from child sexual abuse, and for those wanting to help someone who is doing so, this book offers an introduction to the healing process. It is a shorter version of "The Courage to Heal", and takes readers through the key stages in the healing journey, from remembering and crisis times to breaking the silence, grief and anger, resolution, and moving on. In their own words, survivors talk about their pain, their strength and how they get through each day.
