About this listen

Demonstrates that reclaiming life in adulthood is possible for survivors of childhood abuse.

Stolen Childhoods: Thriving After Abuse focuses on how survivors of childhood abuse can finally break their silence and begin the process of recovery by understanding the impact their abuse history has on their adulthood. Filled with real life client conversations, along with her own experiences as a patient, this work helps listeners stop reliving past abuse and thrive in their recovery. It demonstrates the tremendous hope that can come from having a witness, and feeling heard and believed.

Throughout the book, the listener witnesses how adult survivors of childhood abuse can use relationships with therapists, partners, or supportive family members to combat their feelings of shame and guilt. Botwin walks listeners through ways survivors can develop trust with others and move through emotions of fear and grief. She offers examples of learning how to manage traumatic responses in situations that trigger flashbacks, feelings of unsafety, or fears of being unprotected. Offering actionable steps to healing throughout, Botwin helps listeners on their journeys to reclaiming their right to live safe, happy, full lives.

This is an informative and encouraging resource for those who have survived abuse. One thing that I really appreciated about this book, was how much it normalized how some do not begin addressing the impacts of childhood abuse until years and even decades after the abuse occurred. This book provides guidance on how to begin that healing journey. Beginning the healing journey (no matter how long ago the abuse occurred) can be intimidating. This book helps to break down those barriers and make it easier to start that journey.
