Riassunto

The Obsidian Mirror tells the affirming and inspiring story of the author’s journey to confront and to heal from childhood sexual abuse. 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 creativity and body/mind therapies, Wisechild carries the reader with her on her journey from fear and grief to rage and personal empowerment. A classic in the literature on sexual abuse and healing, The Obsidian Mirror has encouraged thousands of survivors and their allies. Includes a Foreward by Laura Davis, author of The Courage to Heal.
