A revealing account of a three-year therapy journey between a therapist and client, co-authored by them both. It sensitively presents the challenges that an adult survivor of childhood abuse had to overcome, and offers insight for therapists into how creative use of relational models of working paved the way for the client's healing.
I could not ignore the tiny spark of hope that whispered to me that there might be someone with whom I could be vulnerable and real, and that this time they might just not let me down...
This is the story of Alexia and her therapist Kim, and their three-year therapy journey to begin Alexia's path to recovery. Written from both perspectives, it is a powerful and revealing account of a therapist-client relationship.
Together, the authors show the manifold challenges that adult survivors of childhood abuse have to overcome, and offer insight to all therapists on how relational interventions can pave a way to healing.
