She takes them back to the abuse itself and to who they were as children when the abuse was happening. She teaches them how to embrace their inner children, emotionally restructure what happened and to forgive their perpetrators.

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

Sandy Riggin is a counselor and an abuse survivor. She attempted to cope with her childhood abuse through an array of self-destructive behaviors. As a result of her last suicide attempt she realized she had to find a way to deal with the abuse or die. During Sandy s personal journey of healing, she discovered a method of recovery that leads to healing and resolution of childhood abuse, neglect, and/or trauma. She combines traditional cognitive therapy with a set of techniques that address the abuse itself on an emotional level. She calls this new therapeutic approach Cognitive Emotional Restructuring Therapy (CERT). CERT helps abuse survivors change the messages they give themselves and then shows them how to face the abuse. She takes them back to the abuse itself and to who they were as children when the abuse was happening. She teaches them how to embrace their inner children, emotionally restructure what happened and to forgive their perpetrators. She teaches them how to speak their truth, resolve the abuse on an emotional level, and to give their inner children the love and support they lacked growing up. She ultimately completes the circle by reintegrating the cognitive tools so abuse survivors can help their inner children to grow up emotionally.Sandy s counseling paradigm has proven successful with helping abuse survivors overcome their childhood abuse, neglect and/or trauma and to learn how to love themselves so they can lead productive lives. After many years of implementing these concepts in her counseling practices, Sandy now offers her knowledge and experience to survivors in her new book called, Breaking The Cycle.
