Book Description
We can touch the part of a person’s body that gets used to sexual rape, but we can’t touch what gets used in emotional rape – the higher emotions of love or trust, for example.  Sexual rape is a violation of the human body – emotional rape is a violation of the human soul.  This book is about identifying, preventing, and healing emotional rape.  It’s about telling victims that they didn’t do anything morally wrong – that they are not to blame for what happened to them and that recovery is possible.  It’s about telling victims how they can recover – to become survivors. Only after this underrated trauma is properly identified can survivors begin to heal their wounds. Only when it is discussed honestly and openly can we, as individuals and as a society, act effectively to prevent the spread of this destructive behavior.
