Summary: How did he know that is what I have been feeling?
Comment: This book is phenomenal for people starting the road to recovery from childhood abuse. I have read it, highlighted it for my husband to read, and continue to refer to it alot. As I continue down the road to recovery, I am thrilled to have found this book that has helped me become aware that my thoughts and feelings are totally normal. Thanks you Mr. Farmer.

Summary: Very helpful book
Comment: I highly recommend this book for anyone who had a painful childhood. It helps you to realize how much your childhood and the patterns you learned from it affect your adult life. Even if you think you have dealt with the issues, reading this book will help you to find the ones you did not even know were there and fix them.

Summary: good start, but need more
Comment: I thought this book was great for anyone FIRST realizing that they were abused as children in any form: physical, verbal or sexual (most literature about abuse is on sexual, and most literature on domestic violence focuses on wife battering instead of child battering, so this book seemed more inclusive). Unfortunately, the book, which is 10 plus years old, focuses too much on forgiveness, which puts a huge burden on the abused child/adult. I recommend that one skip some of Farmer's "steps to healing" and move on to other books more recent, such as Jean Jenson's "Reclaiming Your Life: A Step-by-step guide to Using REgression Therapy to Overcome the Effects of Childhood Abuse." I think Jenson does more to get at the root of one's triggers, and the need to grieve from the right space, whereas Farmer seems to be putting band-aids on the situation. I think Farmer's was a good book for it's time, and is a good first step, but I would move on to more intensive books that will really help the abused route out the cause of so much pain and unconcious living. This is my humble opinion and I speak from experience.
