A Practitioner's Guide to Caring for Survivors of Sexual Abuse
Tammy Schultz, Hannah Estabrook, and Adam David Dell have written a go-to resource for faith-based practitioners caring for survivors of sexual abuse. Drawing from their personal experiences and work with survivors, the authors discuss the integration of theology and mental health practices and the healing pathways of the counseling journey. They also incorporate current research into each chapter, offering evidence-based, practical guidance. This book reflects on biblical trauma narratives that show God's concern for survivors; helps counselors and caregivers compassionately comprehend survivors' experiences; suggests evidence-based therapeutic approaches and practices that address individualized needs; addresses vicarious traumatization and sustainable practices for clinicians and caregivers; and recommends interventions and resources to equip practitioners with next steps.
While every client's experience is unique, there are common themes and challenges practitioners must understand as they craft personalized treatments. Freedom to Heal is an honest, compassionate guide for therapists, medical professionals, pastoral counselors, and others who endeavor to journey with trauma survivors.
