Dr. Carol Francis (Psychologist in Los Angeles) and creator of the online courses at AbuseTraumaRecovery.com dedicates this program to Survivors of Rape, Molestation, and Assaults with the help of survivor and author Christine Ristaino who shares her vitally important experience and recovery processes in the book All the Silent Spaces. Christine Ristaino is a professor at Emory University and author of several books, yet finds her autobiography and insights in All the Silent Spaces, about recovering after surviving assaults, as essential for helping millions of others facing their past and moving forward with quality living.   All the Silent Spaces book description: "In September 2007, Christine Ristaino was attacked in a store parking lot while her three- and five-year-old children watched. In All the Silent Spaces, Ristaino shares what it felt like to be an ordinary person confronted with an extraordinary event?a woman trying to deal with acute trauma even as she went on with her everyday life, working at a university and parenting two children with her husband. She not only narrates how this event changed her but also tells how looking at the event through both the reactions of her community and her own sensibility allowed her to finally face two other violent episodes she had previously experienced. As new memories surfaced after the attack, it took everything in Ristaino’s power to not let catastrophe unravel the precarious threads holding everything together.   DrCarolFrancis.com, AbuseTraumaRecovery.com

Mary O’Maley, Hypnotherapist and Alternative Healthcare Professional, (MaryOMaley.com) describes many tools, attitudes, and healing modalities which help individuals recover, thrive, and transform after Childhood Abuse.  Dr. Carol Francis also explains that often childhood abuse is either not remembered until adulthood and/or cannot be easily resolved until adulthood due to opportunity, strength-building efforts, and independence.  In addition, since there are levels or degrees of recovering after childhood abuse, often adults will revisit issues that need more work, more healing, more love, more attention etc. These later adult revisits can provide greater and greater freedom, insights, healing and Self-respect. Various traditional western psychological tools, eastern philosophy tools, modern shamanic tools, hypnotherapeutic tools are described as well in this hour dialogue between Mary O’Maley, M.S. and Dr. Carol Francis to help individuals recognize the many tools that will help them progress along the Paths to Recovery After Abuse and Trauma.
