The Obsidian Mirror: An Adult Healing from Childhood Sexual Abuse
No Customer Reviews
The Obsidian Mirror tells the affirming and inspiring story of the author's journey to confront and to heal from childhood sexual abuse. Exploring the process of remembering, the author explains how she, like many other survivors, was unable to recall incidents of childhood abuse until well into adulthood. Through the use of inner characters ---- a critical judge, an adolescent rebel, scared and needy inner children and an evolving nurturer, Wisechild illustrates the effects of abuse and her ongoing process of healing.
With the support of friends, counselors and her own work with body therapy, she begins her recovery: the movement from fear and grief to rage and resolve, the spiritual reawakening and growing understanding of her creativity, and the ultimate reclamation of self.
Considered a classic in the literature on sexual abuse and healing, The Obsidian Mirror has given validation and hope to thousands of survivors of childhood sexual abuse and those working with them. The 5th edition includes a new afterward by the author, Looking Back 2024.
