The Power of Positive Affirmations in Overcoming Abuse and Trauma takes the reader on a journey from victim to victor. The method used changes the old, negative, ingrained tapes in an abused person's mind into self-directed statements of positive affirmations about oneself. In effect, we throw out the thoughts that do us harm, creating victims of us, and put in the positive things that we find in each person, thus creating our true, wonderful selves. In this book, we find at the beginning support for the reader. We all need support when we are caught up in an abusive or traumatizing situation. The words take the reader's hand, asking them to follow into the book. Gently, the readers follow the guide of working on and with positive affirmations, creating their own positive affirmations for themselves. The readers are taught how to form positive affirmations that suit who they really are. This book talks about childhood through adult sexual abuse, trauma, rape (of all ages), and the mental difficulties from such an upbringing and more. It discusses how to change the negative tapes that have been programmed into the minds of the abused and traumatized into positive statements that help them to move toward a more positive life and thoughts. In this way, the reader goes from an abuse victim to a warrior who has fought to gain freedom from their respective pasts. They are then victorious and become who they were meant to be before the abuse and trauma. My own recovery, using, above all else, positive affirmations, has helped me greatly. I would suggest this strategy to any broken, abused, traumatized, or hurting person out there.
