Emotional Rape Syndrome

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.
