A Challenge Not Destiny a guide to empowering and healing from sexual abuse & PTSD

A Challenge Not Destiny - a guide to empowering and healing from sexual abuse & PTSD, by Prof. K. Elan Jung, MD, is a roadmap to recovery for the survivors, families and friends of sexual abuse and sexual trauma. A revolutionary revisioning of society's approach to sexual abuse and sexual trauma, A Challenge Not Destiny reassures survivors of sexual abuse and sexual trauma that they are not alone, that there is hope and lays out a clear and explanatory roadmap showing what survivors need to do to take charge of their lives and master what has happened to them and not be masted by it.
A Challenge Not Destiny tells the stories of many famous survivors of sexual abuse and sexual trauma, inspirational examples of people who have triumphed over sexual abuse and sexual trauma, chronicling how they have changed our world. Many of these famous victims were able to harness what happened to them, transforming trauma to give them unique powers, drives and abilities.
Prof. Jung details how survivors are suffering from a specific kind of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and that a specific kind of psychotherapeutic process, assisted by the use of medication when necessary, is needed. He then delves into how trends in modern psychiatry, including those driven by the cost management practices of insurers like HMOs, ill serve sexual abuse and trauma survivors. The biological aspects of the changes wrought by sexual abuse and trauma are not neglected, and Prof. Jung ends with practical advice for survivors, parents and professionals.
