Sexual Trauma: Recovering from Unhealed Wounds - Paperback

by S. Jack Olszewski (Author)

"Sexual Trauma: Recovering from Unhealed Wounds" is a concise, psychologically grounded guide to understanding how sexual trauma affects the body, mind, and identity. The book explains why survivors freeze, dissociate, or struggle with trust, showing that these reactions are natural survival responses rather than personal failures. Rooted in contemporary trauma science and clinical practice, it examines how sexual violence influences the nervous system, emotions, and relationships, and offers clear guidance on restoring boundaries, regaining safety, and reconnecting with one's body. Accessible and compassionate, it serves as a valuable resource for survivors, their loved ones, and professionals, contributing an important voice to the broader conversation on mental health and healing.
