The Courage to Heal Workbook (and it's companion book) are the best books I have read on the subject of healing from Child Sexual Abuse. And I have read a lot! This book does as it's title suggests - it encourages the growth of courage in dealing with difficult issues. While the work is challenging, it is also very hopeful. I have developed new coping skills and I have improved my relationship with myself and with others. With the help of this book and it's companion I feel I am getting to a place where dealing with my past abuse is manageable rather than overwhelming, as it has felt in the past. I would recommend this book to anyone who is a survivor of childhood sexual assault. It is a fantastic resource.

A friend suggested this book when I struggled with my memories of childhood/adult incest and sexual abuse. It helped me realize I was not "crazy!" I have had this book for many years now, and have read alot of books on abuse. I believe this is the best book I've ever read to aid in my recovery. It was a difficult book to read, but worth it, as it has made me aware of many of the issues that I did not even realize existed. As a person with DID(MPD)I blocked alot out. This book helped me to come to terms with my abuse. For the first time I read "You don't have to forgive!"
