I Can Get Through It (Books Beyond Words)

Story of a woman whose life is suddenly disturbed by an act of abuse. From enjoying herself with her friends, she turns into an angry, aggressive person. She throws food and crockery, wets the bed and tears her clothes off. She has nightmares and finds it hard to sleep. She cannot stop thinking about the man. No one can understand what has happened, until she meets with a counsellor. Through this weekly talking treatment she becomes able to show what happened in her bedroom. Through the support of her home, friends and therapy she becomes able to speak, and slowly the painful memory of the man fades. In the end she is able to sleep again and wake up to enjoy a new day with her energy restored. Includes glossary and list of helpful organisations.Valerie Sinason is the author of 'I Can Get Through It (Books Beyond Words)', published 1998 under ISBN 9781901242201 and ISBN 190124220X.
