Healing Together

In the age of the #metoo and #churchtoo movements, we are learning just how many men, women, boys, and girls have suffered sexual abuse at the hands of a trusted person--often times family members or leaders in the church. Sexual abuse has always been a rampant problem, but sexual abuse survivors are coming forward to share their stories now in a way like never before. Anne Marie Miller is a survivor of sexual abuse. For her, it happened as a child through someone she trusted: a church leader. Anne has shared her journey to healing all over the world, and after speaking with thousands of survivors and their loved ones, it a need became clear. The friends and family of sexual abuse survivors want to support and help them, but they don't know how. Seeing this need, Anne created a fundamental and practical guide for those who want to support a loved one who has survived sexual abuse, helping them understand the basics of trauma, healing, and hope. Drawing from her own experience as a survivor and evidence-based research, Anne addresses the questions: • What is sexual abuse and who commits it? • How does trauma affect survivors in the moment of abuse and the years following it? • How does abuse wound the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of people who have been abused? • When and how should authorities be contacted? • How do you talk to your children about sexual abuse? • What are the warning signs of abuse? • What resources are available to survivors and those who want to help? In Healing Together, you will find extensive and accessible help for understanding this sensitive topic. Whether you are a spouse, a family member, a friend, or a church leader looking for easy-to-navigate resources to help sexual abuse survivors, you’ll find the answers in Anne's book.
