Product Details

Product Description

--Dan Sexton, Childhelp, U.S.A

"Partners can now feel supported and guided in their quest for healing--for themselves and for those they love and cherish."


Product Description

"But what about me?"
"Is it possible to go one day without dealing with the survivor's issues?"
"Will we ever make love again?"
"Will the survivor love me in the end?"
"How do I know if I should throw in the towel?"
Based on in-depth interviews and her workshops for partners across the country, Laura Davis offers practical advice and encouragement to all partners -- girlfriends, boyfriends, spouses, and lovers -- trying to support the survivors in their lives while tending to their own needs along the way. She shows couples how to deepen compassion, improve communication, and develop an understanding of healing as a shared activity. Addressing partners' most important questions, Allies in Healing covers:
  • The Basics -- answers common questions about sexual abuse.
  • Allies in Healing -- introduces key concepts of working and growing together.
  • My Needs and Feelings -- teaches partners to recognize, value, and express their own needs.
  • Dealing with Crisis -- includes strategies for handling suicidal feelings, regression, and hopelessness.
  • Intimacy and Communication -- offers practical advice on dealing with distancing, control, trust, and fighting.
  • Sex -- provides guidelines for coping with flashbacks, lack of desire, differences in sexual needs, and frustration.
  • Family lssues -- suggests a range of ideas for interacting with the survivor's family.
  • Partners' Stories -- explores the struggles, triumphs, and courage of eight partners.

1.0 out of 5 stars depressing and hopeless, Dec 1 1999
By Carl R. Menger "hm2menger" (Michigan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The chapter on sexual relations says in so many words,"you'll learn to live without". It advocates giving the survior a "healing vacation from sex", but never says that things get better. All the "case historys" are of people still celibate. Thanks but no thanks, in my time of darkest despair, could they hold out just a little ray of hope? If surviors can never have a sex life, tell me now.

4.0 out of 5 stars An allie and a survivor, Dec 20 2001
I am a survior who is also an ally in healing. This book is quite good in helping you to help others. It is written by one of the authors of Courage in Healing.

I recommend reading this book if you are trying to help someone who is a survivor

By "spdrwoman" (Jacksonville, FL USA) - See all my reviews
I'm a sibling incest survivor, and this book really helped my husband understand what I went through. I'd highly recommend it to the partner of anyone who was sexually abused.
