Through the Valley of My Shadow
Jolainne BoRienne
About the Book
Through the Valley of My Shadow is a trilogy of stories that evolved from thirteen years of healing from childhood sexual abuse. It starts with a state of denial and numbness, represented by a symbolic mythical journey. The second level represents a more humanistic soul search until I was finally able to tell my story as it really happened in the third level. As such it honors both my psychological journey of healing and a deep spiritual healing as well.

A Parent's Help-source on Sexual Assault
Christine A. Golder
About the Book
Finally, there is a handbook for parents who have had to face the horrendous ordeal of their child’s sexual assault. Most of the current literature focuses on prevention. This book is specifically to help parents in the aftermath of the assault as it is typical for parents to feel as victimized and powerless as their child. The crisis precipitates a disequilibrium that reverberates throughout the family and can have long-reaching effects unless the members seek help. The initial phase of discovery is the most crucial and how parents react toward their child at first hearing of the assault plays an important role in how the child is able to handle the crisis from that time forward.
After an introductory chapter which examines the scope of the problem, the second chapter discusses disclosure issues. It also explains what assault can entail; reactions and behavioral signals in child and adolescent victims. This chapter also discusses the perpetrator because parents often ask, “”What kind of person could do such a thing?”” The third chapter deals with issues around reporting and what to expect from the legal system. The fourth chapter focuses primarily on parental concerns, feelings and their important role in the recovery process. The fifth chapter suggests some ideas for moving beyond the personal crisis for those parents that want to do more.

Telos, Dreams, and our Continuing Human Evolution
Marley Shen-Cecilio
About the Book
We humans are still continuing to evolve into higher beings, through the actions and nurturance of our dreams and instincts. I know this to be true because as partly described in this book, I underwent the stages of these processes in the past 34 years, and still continuing. This book differentiates the Telosmor spirit from our consciousness or mind. Describes how the incorrect teachings of intellectuals since the Age of Englightenment (past 400 years) caused our human condition to deteriorate. Gives a real life example of how our evolution actually begins and the general kinds of unusual phenomena a person will undergo. Differentiates the kundalini, chakra, and other psychic energies from the Telos or spirit. Gives examples of how it feels to be “touched” by the Telos. Gives brief biography and gist of Carl Jung’s Paradigm of Individuation.About the Author

The Moment I Should Have Bounced

About the Book
This book is parts of my life I examined to further clear any misconceptions on my behalf of how things could have been. I began writing this book while thinking back on the relationships and the many times I did not recognize my moment to bounce. I’ve learned life does not fit neatly in a box. Life experiences good or bad have a way of shaping you early on it can either make you strong or break you down. My upbringing in church, family, friends, and relationships all shaped my life for the better. Everyone needs to recognize their moment to bounce it’s always there just look for it.

My Therapy Journal
Micah Mason
About the Book
It all started when an innocent little Brownie walked to a neighbor’s house to sell Girl Scout calendars. It seemed like an overdone, slobbery kiss as Micah Mason left, but at age seven, she wasn’t really sure. That moment instigated four years of hiding or being caught and molested, and a chronic state of hypervigilance. As the events led Micah into therapy, a counselor suggested she journal as homework.
In a collection of raw, unfiltered poems penned in a therapy journal over several decades, Micah invites others to witness her heartbreaking journey through childhood trauma and therapy into adulthood as she faced life-altering abuse, witnessed its affects on her life, and eventually learned healthy coping skills and self-awareness. Her poems illustrate the ups and downs of life while healing, trust issues with those who failed her, and the power of her faith as it carried her through the most challenging of times.
My Therapy Journal shares a moving compilation of poems that convey the myriad of emotions that accompanied one woman’s journey through childhood trauma, broken trust issues, and eventual healing.About the Author
