"This book should be read by everyone––survivors
of childhood abuse, therapists, perpetrators, and concerned bystanders––who
wants to learn how to survive abuse. Jane Orleman takes us through
her experiences of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse by calling
on the most profound sources of inspiration: art, dreams, and the
compassionate presence of a skillful witness. By sharing her journey
with us, she lays down a path that each of us can take to confront
our deepest fears. Bravo."

Ms. Henry is an abuse survivor
"Much has been written about childhood experiences and their
impact on maturation and development. In this book, a sensitive, private
child experiences a number of overwhelming physical, sexual, and emotional
assaults that strongly influence her development. Using her paintings,
her dream journal, and insights from a remarkable seven-year-long
therapeutic intervention by Dr. W., Ms. Orleman tells her story with
sensitivity and clarity. She has exhibited her paintings, given slide
shows, and written about her work to, in her words, 'create an awareness
of the emotional wound that devastates our society.' This book does
just that."
