Jennifer Storm Volgorde van de boeken

Jennifer Storm's journey through trauma, addiction, and healing unfolds as she confronts the scars left by sexual assault and substance abuse. Beginning with her first assault at twelve, she spirals into addiction and self-harm, ultimately seeking treatment after multiple suicide attempts. This updated edition of her memoir reveals her path to recovery and the power of revealing long-held secrets. It also includes new insights on societal changes over the past decade and a foreword by advocate Caroline Heldman, emphasizing the ongoing conversation around trauma and healing.

"The #MeToo and Time's Up movements have exposed the truth that many already knew: sexual violence is real, pervasive, and causing widespread trauma for millions of survivors. This visibility is also shedding light on the lack of resources available for victims to heal from their pain. Many survivors turn to whatever coping mechanisms are close by, which often include alcohol, other drugs, and unhealthy behaviors. Jennifer Storm is living proof that there is hope for recovery from both sexual trauma and substance use. In Awakening Blackout Girl, Jennifer provides the road map she used to wake herself up from the drug-fueled numbness that was killing her and to achieve a fulfilling life of recovery and advocacy. In this guide, Jennifer covers subjects ranging from shame and self-harm to sex and relationships while providing exercises, tools, and wisdom to help survivors heal. Her message is this: Neither your pain, nor your offender, nor anyone else who doubts your strength gets to finish your story. You have the power to write your ending. You can survive, you can heal, and you can thrive"-- Provided by publisher
