Book Jewel of the Month: Healing from Incest (Henderson & Emerton) - Readers' Favorite review

 

      


What is a book jewel? A sometimes-overlooked book with remarkable insight and potential significance. Each month, we share near-daily, or as often as possible, reviews of the monthly book jewel - short, succinct reviews that can be read in 1-2 minutes with links to the reviewer by reviewers whose words are worthy of being heard and whose opinions are worthy of being considered. Sometimes a couple of minutes contains more impressive thought than ten times that many. We will let you decide that.

This month's book jewel is Healing from Incest by Geri Henderson and Seanne Emerton.

Description:

In speaking about Healing from IncestSusan J. Lewis, Ph.D., J.D., Healing writes: “"Brave, profound, touching, healing. This well-written, honest book takes the reader inside the complexities of the therapeutic healing process from the patient and therapist's unique perspective. It is the story of hard work, hope, commitment and recovery!" Healing from Incest tells the journey of a victim-turned-survivor, working with her therapist to find healing. Readers are pulled into the therapeutic process as Henderson relates her conversations and feelings as a victim of child abuse and Emerton interprets those feelings and describes interventions. For those who recognize this as their own story, this frank and genuine narrative will be reassuring in its descriptions of one woman's journey toward hope and healing. About the front cover: kintsukuroi(n.) (v. phr.) "to repair with gold"; the art of repairing pottery with gold or silver lacquer and understanding that the piece is more beautiful for having been broken.

Readers' Favorite review by Jamie Michele -  

 packs a massive punch

This book needed to exist a lot sooner! Geri and Seanne create a riveting dialog between each other as Geri discusses the hardships she has endured, from her childhood into her adult life, and what she has had to do to reach the Light at the end of the Tunnel! Coupled with Seanne's Therapist and scientific approach allows the reader to really connect and get into Geri's mindset. The scenes and feelings presented are not for everyone but I definitely encourage anyone who has had this happen to them to read this! You don't feel as alone in the world with it and it is rather therapeutic.

I have had my own "issues" with Incest but have had "come to terms" with it per say. It was absolutely horrible before that though and I truly wish I had this book to read in those dark times. So as I previously stated, this needed to exist sooner!
