About this audiobook
The complete basis for understanding sexual abuse.
Since it is all over the media and the horrific stories echo through our empathetic ears, it is almost mandatory for any caring civilian in society to understand at least some basics when it comes to sexual abuse. The facts are out there, and it is really happening to people in secret and sometimes without hiding anything. In this book, you will learn to grasp the reality of this sad phenomenon in society. You will hear such things as:
- Which acts fall under "sexual abuse" and how they violate a person's right to consent with such acts.
- How sexual abuse can have a negative impact on a person's self-esteem, sexuality, and relationships.
- Legal facts and opinions about reporting sexual abuse.
- The problems with recognizing and acknowledging moments when it might be happening, and why it sometimes goes on for such a long time.
- Effective ways to accelerate the healing process.
- Things you can do to help yourself and others.
Curious yet? Then don't wait and start listening. I will see you in the first chapter!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I want you to realize that this is an amazing audio book. I do not always appreciate all audiobooks, but this stood out. And since it did, I started listening to it. It was some of the best time I spent, particularly since I was doing some other tasks in the meantime. I wish I was truly good at writing customer reviews, but you'll just need to be pleased with this average recommendation, namely, that the audiobook was fascinating all the way through, up until the very end.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I tuned in to this audiobook, and it was definitely inspirational. 5 stars! Without a doubt the best thing that's happened to me this weekend. It's an appealing principle, the entire premise of this book. You don't usually see that in some other books. And that's the reason why it can use a person like me to write a couple of positive aspects of it.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Far too short with information that is pretty lacking anyway. The narration was awful.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The title is "Healing from sexual abuse" but she only provides the reader an overview of what happens in the process of healing, not any prescription for healing. Chapter 1 was a child's poem and seemingly had nothing to do with the rest of the book.
