5.0 out of 5 stars Affirming the strength of the human spirit, August 9, 2000
This review is from: One Small Step: Moving Beyond Trauma and Therapy to a Life of Joy (Paperback)
When I purchased this book, I did so with the intention of reading it to use as a tool with my clients. The clients who have found this book to be the most helpful are those who have completed their initial trauma work and are asking themselves and me, as their therapist, "Where do I go from here?" The book has some very powerful exercises which provide an affirmation as to how far they have progressed in their healing journey from abuse and offers direction as to where they can go from here.

I would also recommend this book to anyone who wants to take the time to explore how they have grown as an individual. The book is very thought provoking and makes you stop and consider the hidden, sources of joy and beauty that already exist in your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hands-on and helpful, December 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Yvonne Dolan's book did not promise what it couldn't deliver. The activities were hands-on and the rationale that prefaced each of the activities/therapeutic exercises provided encouragement without talking down to the reader. Also, the rationale gave the needed insight into the purpose of doing the activities.

I liked that, from the start, she was adamant about changing one's outlook on life from survivor to someone who thrives! What a great change of perspective, from drudgery to delight. I caught myself giving some of my students the pep talk (don't survive, thrive!).
