Synopsis

A least one out of every three women and one out of every six men have experienced some form of sexual abuse.  Regardless of the circumstances of the violation, every survivor can attest that it will impact relationships with parents, friends, spouses, children, and God. Sexual abuse survivors are often left feeling isolated and without anyone to trust.  But it does not have to be this way.

Nicole Braddock Bromley understands the fears and anxieties victims face as they seek to build healthy relationships after sexual abuse.  As a survivor herself, Nicole offers readers the power and hope necessary to share their story, build intimacy, and develop healthy communication in all their relationships.

Breathe also serves as a helpful tool for those in relationship with an abuse survivor by providing guidance, confidence, and encouragement as they seek to help and support.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

You were only a child when you learned adult things.
You felt sad and confused when they said it was your fault.
You never told anyone.

You were always told to hush. Until now.

Survivors of childhood sexual abuse can be found in every corner of society. Yet this shocking reality is blanketed by silence. Author Nicole Braddock Bromley is one such survivor, but she hasn’t kept silent. And she’s here to help you heal.

Written by someone who has believed the lies and felt the shame, Hush doesn’t leave you to deal with your abuse alone. Nicole draws deeply from “the Source of all comfort” using stories from other survivors to help you:

- Break the silence
- Realize it’s not your fault
- Forgive those who hurt you
- Make a difference

The words of Hush are fuel for healthy relationships. They reveal how intimacy can trigger issues from the past and how to overcome these barriers to love. As Nicole writes, “Sexual abuse isn’t about sex.  It’s about power and control.”  Don’t let your abuser wield this power any longer.  You deserve to be believed.  You deserve to heal. 

May the silence be broken.
