The Telling by Zoe Zolbrod

5.0

Sexual abuse is horrifying and awful. But it leaves complex reactions and thoughts for victims, many of which I've felt haven't been covered in self-help or therapeutic literature. Not only does Zoe explain abuse in a nuanced manner, she explains recovery in a multi-faceted manner. She also manages to create a book about abuse that doesn't focus on the abuse. It is in here, so be warned if that is hard to read, but you don't feel scarred by the reading. This book focuses on the healing, not the abuse. A shift I appreciated. And it is done beautifully. A must read for any parent. Even if you're not an adult who was abused as a child.
