Moving Past the Past: A Guide for Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse To understand the impact that childhood sexual abuse has on the adult is not an easy journey to make, but one which will, I hope, help you to finally begin your Moving Past the Past. For the survivors, and for the family of survivors - this book is for you. Moving Past the Past will help you to understand yourself in a way that you never thought possible. Why you behave like that, why you react like that, what the triggers are, and how you can release and overcome them. Many survivors of childhood sexual abuse find a lifetime of chaos, broken relationships, multiple jobs, multiple homes, destructiveness, insecurity and illness. This book will help you to “Move Past the Past” and into the security, stability, wellness, inner peace and tranquillity that you need and deserve; to strengthen your relationship with yourself and with others; and to move towards a peaceful and stable life. To understand WHY we do what we do is the first step to being able to change the old patterns, reactions, responses and triggers. Moving Past the Past will help you to do this. It is filled with information, explanations, other people’s stories, and exercises for you to follow, helping you to find your way through the maze of destruction that being an adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse often brings, and to finally find your way out of the cycle of despair and destruction.

Clarabelle is on a mission! With the children now at school, it's high time that 'her Sarah' focused on her Tarot Cards. Frieda has a secret and it is only Sarah who can unlock it. Can she help Frieda find the peace that she has never known, or is she jeopardising a friendship that has lasted for nearly forty years?

Following on from Angel on My Shoulder (Sarah's Story), Sarah is finally having a good day! At 383/4 life is now going fantastically! She's just married her soulmate Simon, her store is doing great and she's even getting on with her mother. (Miracles really do happen!) Her 'Guardian Angel' Clarabelle is, of course, 'smashingly' happy...

Sarah is having a bad day! At 37 1/2 life is going nowhere fast. She's been dumped by her latest boyfriend, again! She's lost her latest job, again! And her mother's driving her mad, again! To top it all, she can't even have a moan in peace without Clarabelle piping up every two minutes trying to cheer her up, again!
