Description

Helping your clients heal from sexual trauma goes deeper than symptom reduction.

It requires addressing the ways that trauma can reshape a person’s identity, relationships, and experience of intimacy. This book does just that.

Sexual Trauma doesn’t focus only on symptom management. It offers clinicians an integrated framework that helps them support survivors in reestablishing self-trust, processing shame and self-blame, and disrupting harmful relationship patterns. Written by Ashley Charbonneau—an expert in trauma-informed care, restorative justice, and sex offense treatment—this inclusive resource draws on interventions from:

  • Comprehensive sexual education
  • Motivational interviewing
  • Somatic and grounding work
  • Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy


Whether you’re a clinician looking for tools to support others or a survivor navigating your own recovery, this book is a reminder that while healing is rarely linear, there is hope for life after abuse.
