3.0 out of 5 stars "Advanced": A Tricky Word, June 19, 2000
By Stacie (Missouri) - See all my reviews
This book certainly gives positive, helpful, compassionate advice for sexual abuse survivors who are ready and willing to take some serious steps in their healing, and for that, I've given it the stars I have. However, the promise of advice for the "advanced" healer fell somewhat short for me. So that's why I didn't give anymore stars--that disappointment factor. Most of the ideas presented actually seemed more suited for someone just beginning the healing process--and perfect for a beginner who's interested in knowing where his or her healing journey could take him/her. So, if you're a survivor just beginning to heal and are ready for some real, straight-forward, solid advice and information, go for this book...if you're towards the far end of your healing journey, rest assured you already know most everything this book has to tell you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Is this too much to believe?, January 21, 2006
It is difficult to absorb all the information, especially the person just beginning to heal. I'm not sure what I believe, but I am definitely skeptical. The author did not even know of her abuse until hypnosis. Her memories were not recovered until this time and the abuse was so horrible,almost beyond belief. Often, while reading, I caught myself thinking that it could not be true or that the author had gone to far. She is very quick to suggest that it is 'always abuse.' I would not recommend this book to someone just starting to seek help for abuse issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful book on healing, May 11, 1999
By A Customer
I read this book at a particularly difficult time in my life and it was so helpful. My experience was much less dramatic than those I've heard about and I was feeling as if I didn't have a right to my pain. This book really helped me accept the fact that just because I didn't have the worst documented experience, that didn't mean that the experience wasn't horrible for me. It gave me the validation I needed to heal. Don't be put off by the word "advanced" in the title--this was the first book I read after I was finally able to admit what had happened to me and it was just great for me.
