A safe space for you to work through difficult thoughts, emotions, and memories—and find peace of mind.

If you’ve experienced rape, sexual abuse, molestation, or sexual trauma, you may feel as if you’ve lost your sense of self. You may have difficulty setting boundaries or building satisfying sexual relationships. And you may struggle with intense emotions such as sadness, shame, or anger. It’s important for you to know that you aren’t alone—there is hope for healing and a renewed sense of wholeness. This compassionate journal can help you release your difficult thoughts and feelings on the page and gain insight for powerful personal growth.

Drawing on the mind-body techniques of somatic therapy, The Healing Sexual Trauma Guided Journal offers insightful writing prompts to help you explore your emotions, overcome internalized shame, and heal your traumatized nervous system.
