Description

Victims of child sexual abuse can suffer huge burdens of guilt and emotional trauma as adults, with devastating consequences for their relationships in all areas of their lives. But it's never too late to seek help, and Parks Inner Child Therapy (PICT) has been widely used to help people repair the damage caused by childhood abuse.

Developed by psychotherapist Penny Parks, PICT is based on her own experience of self-recovery and aims to treat the hurt 'inner child' at the adult's core by offering them a voice and a narrative to make sense of their pain. Rescuing the 'Inner Child' offers victims an accessible guide to the therapy, and includes:

- How to understand the impact of childhood abuse on your adult life
- Clear guidance on using PICT to face your experiences, receive the comfort you needed as a child and self-heal
- Accounts of other victims' trauma and their processes of therapy and restoration

Written from a place of understanding and expert knowledge, this guide offers a programme for healing and recovery, invaluable for victims and their loved ones.
