Help for Healing Katgrrl73 This book has been so helpful in healing the wounds experienced by my partner in her childhood as well as my stepdaughter. This is of course an extremely sensitive, difficult subject. My partner did not want to read it because as she said "it's in the past, it's over, and I don't feel a need to bring it up again by reading about it." It has helped me immensely in understanding the underlying dysfunctional patterns it has caused, trust issues, etc. Highly recommended of course for those who have experienced this pain, but also their partners and loved ones to help understand a little better.
