The Wall of Fear: Crossing the Wall from Trauma to Recovery from Childhood Sexual Abuse is a unique exploration of the subjective experiences of both client and therapist as they together travel the path to recovery. Therapists get a clear illustration of the therapy process while CSA survivors are offered a gauge with which to judge their own progress toward recovery. New therapeutic concepts are clearly presented and extensively discussed while sensitively charting the experiences of clients on the journey toward healing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Winston Churchill once said, \u003ci\u003eIf you’re going through hell, keep going.\u003c\/i\u003e The Wall of Fear charts the arduous progress of a survivor from the initial understanding that they need help and guidance, to choosing the correct therapist, to the emotional roadblocks most clients face on their own personal recovery from the hell of CSA. The authors team up to courageously provide readers with a comprehensive and candid portrait of their experiences of CSA therapy while demonstrating the approaches which effectively enhance healing. Features include schematic drawings of the stages of therapy, the client’s own diary from her youth through her therapy in adulthood, client drawings illustrating progress in therapy, and effective art exercises that can be used at the beginning of therapy. The text includes extensive references, useful appendixes, and a helpful glossary of terms for the layperson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTopics in The Wall of Fear include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e the nature of sexual trauma (the new concept of the World of Trauma)\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e growing up traumatizedand its effect on friendships, sexual development, dating, and mate selection\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e couples’ relationships and sexuality \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e selecting a therapist\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e the new concept of The Wall of Fear\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e closure\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e coping with the therapy process\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e parenting by CSA survivors and the impact on the next generation\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e the subjective experiences of both therapist and CSA survivor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Wall of Fear stands as a testament that no matter what sexual trauma a person may endure, there is hope for recovery.
