"This book will be of great value to any survivor of incest. Equally important, Christine Dinsmore teaches the rest of us--therapists, family members, and friends--how to be helpful to the survivor who takes on the task of ending the secrecy, recovering memories, and experiencing feelings. Dinsmore points out that the recovery process is unique for each survivor. You won't find any pat formulas here. Instead, the reader is left with a sensitivity and an awareness of the role one might play in the survivor's journey." -- from the Foreword, Jane R. Hirschmann From Surviving to Thriving: Incest, Feminism, and Recovery analyzes incest recovery from a feminist perspective. It is based on research with incest survivors and years of therapy with survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Unlike other writings on incest recovery, this book links the incest with patriarchy and its belief in male sexual entitlement. The discussions of incest and its traumatic effects, society's response to the sexual abuse of children, the recovery process, and the role of the supporting cast are reinforced by the words of incest survivors themselves. A detailed account of the incest healing treatment is also provided with specific treatments suggested for therapists working with incest survivors.
Imagine being five years old and learning your alphabet in preparation to read. But what happens when rape steals your innocence and sexual and emotional abuse are becoming your only learning tools. Where do you turn to for courage? Who do you turn to for strength? My past is a reflection of who I was and God's Light is a reflection of His future for me. Consider this: the act that connects you to your enemy is control. Forgiveness is squeezing the life out of the control they once had over you and forgiveness is giving yourself permission to heal. When you forgive, you regain all that was stolen from you and you are now in control. Those memories you have harbored in the depths of your soul; forgive and let go.
O'RISE: Overcoming Rape, Incest, Sexual, & Emotional Abuse explores the physical and psychological trauma of being physically, emotionally, and sexually abused as a child. It examines the ramifications of decades of mental illness. It examines the life of SA Ballantyne: a mother, a daughter, and a grand-daughter who struggles to endure life as she knows it. This will unearth the roots rather continue to move infertile soil. This is about one person who in the process of 40 years became 5 different people in order to save the life she was given. For this is a story of a girl who was raped at 5, molested at 6, 8, and 12, and endured years of physical violence. A child who would learn to split personalities as if they were her friends. For this child would endure physical violence from birth and being strangled at the hands of her father at 15. She would grow to accept violence as a form of love in her first relationship as a teenager. She is what you would call "unevenly yoked"; mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. But her medical diagnoses list her as being Bipolar 1. Having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. One who suffers from severe anxiety. One who suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and to cope with the trauma of her life; she suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder. This woman at the age of 40 struggles with the victims in her head, who have endured the trauma of abandonment, sexual violence, and physical torture. It is now time to unite that which has always protected me; me. I am a child searching for the innocence that was stolen from me. I am struggling through my preadolescence phase with sexuality due to the rape and molestations. I am fearful that no one will protect me in my transition to adulthood. I struggle with rage, guilt, and shame in defense of all that has happened to us. It is now that I must unite rather than continue to untie my life as it was. It is time for my healing and restoration. We can no longer live as separate entities; fighting to survive and existing within this body called self.
If you have suffered trauma due to war, an accident, illness, abuse, or anything else, I am quite certain your trauma details will be different from mine, yet many of our symptoms may be surprisingly similar. For eighteen years of my life, I dealt with harm daily. I suffered over forty years with a substantial assortment of trauma related manifestations. I had no understanding of what was wrong with me, since most of my pain was lost in a fog of forgetfulness. I personally suffered from the following disorders: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder which for me included: flashbacks, trauma triggers, body memories, nightmares/night terrors, frightening thoughts, avoidance of thoughts and feelings related to the trauma, easily startled, feeling tense or on edge, difficulty sleeping, memory problems, negative thoughts about myself or the world, distorted feelings like guilt or blame. Social Anxiety Disorder Generalized Anxiety Disorder Major Depression Suicidal thoughts Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) Panic Attacks Anorexia Depersonalization/Derealization Agoraphobia Essential tremor Endometriosis Addiction to a doctor prescribed drug I suffered from 77 of the 99 after-effects of sexual abuse Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, food and environmental allergies The devastation of the above problems began when I was a child and lasted until I was in my mid-forties. I know my story sounds bleak thus far but don't be discouraged. Peace, laughter, joy and happiness eventually came my way. My personal traumas came from three different long-term sources. Incest was the first form of trauma which resulted from two family members. The second area of harm to me was due to faulty care and nurturing from a mentally ill parent. Lastly, bullying occurred at school during my formative years and affected me greatly. All three areas of abuse proceeded to bring on the above disorders within me. PTSD, depression, anxiety and all the other disorders can come from a myriad of situations. If you have any of the disorders that I mentioned, this book can and will definitely help you no matter how you were harmed. My book carefully lays out the path I took so you can feel better quickly. I think in my situation, my abusers thought that their hidden dirty secrets would never be remembered by me but that was incorrect. All their sins were carefully recorded in my flashbacks, nightmares, night terrors, body memories and trauma triggers. The actual events were repressed for decades, but my body never forgot. My autobiography is carefully written to limit my discussion regarding the actions of my abusers for my sake, as well as yours. I do not want to cause you any additional harm. My story also concentrates on the seen and unseen symptoms of the traumas. The hardships that I experienced caused devastating results to my mind as well as my body. Throughout my life I thought I was crazy and alone with all my difficulties, but I was wrong. There are currently so many people in the world fighting similar emotional battles. I have chosen to be as transparent as possible, in describing all the after-effects that came to me because of years of trauma. I want to share my private personal story with you, so that you can quickly heal and mend any brokenness you are currently dealing with. My journey was agonizing, but my healing has been exhilarating. No matter how deeply you are traumatized now, I know my story will accelerate your quest to find healing and freedom from your dilemmas. The bonus is that joy, peace and happiness is out there for everyone!
