Sexual Trauma. It hurts, and it hurts not just once, but over and over through seemingly endless trials and tribulations. If you or someone you love is in the process of learning about how sexual trauma has impacted them then please know you are not alone.

It must be said, no matter how disheartening, that this story belongs to so many. And as stories of incest have been told many times – these are stories of hurt and of betrayal that need attention, time and space to heal.

I have been involved in 12-step programs in the past, but there was something that was missing for me when it came to recovery from incest. And so by now, I am in my mid-50’s and I said to myself, what a better way to warm up for my 60’s than to create a new 12-step series. Easy, practical and caring guidance for those who have been beholden to someone in an imbalance of power. I have called my book 12 (New) Steps of Recovery from Sexual Trauma.
