Healing
I have provided quotes from some of the texts available to give the general
tone of the work. Most people glance at the front page of reading material first so I thought this would help people
decide if a certain book is right for them.

This manual is a session by session outline of what should take place
in therapy for a rape victim. It lists skills to be taught, issues to be discussed, and homework to be assigned.
It would be very useful to rape survivors in understanding the therapy process.
Introductory quote:
“Rape
is a crime against sleep and memory; it’s afterimage imprints itself like an irreversible negative from the camera obscura
of dreams… Violence sends deep roots into the heart; it has no seasons; it is always ripe, evergreen.”
