    About this ebook

    When the word rape is said a chill goes down every woman's spine due to the horror of being raped.

    For an adult woman it is the worst scenario possible. Life is changed in that moment or hours depending on how long the assault lasts. By identifying some sexual abuse as assault it may be technically more accurate and easier to prosecute, but it loses the impact of the word rape.

    When that impact is lost, in my opinion, the horror watered down and it let's society think it is not as dastardly a deed.

    Whatever you call it there is a life ruined. Yes, through counselling and with support life can be improved upon. What personal development and grief work will not take away is the invasive nature of a rape or sexual assault. It is an uninvited intrusion into a private part of a woman's body. She is the only person who should have control over that part of her physical being. Assault also rapes her soul.

    Why would any human being want to hurt another so badly? Well there are some assumptions in this book if you are interested in potential profiles of rapists. Rape is a crime of violence not sex.

    Rape is about power, control, domination and humiliation of the victim. The rapist is meeting their need with no regard to the needs of the victim. And, yes, men do get raped too for the same reasons. Marital, date, acquaintance as well as stranger rape is all about the power and control too.

    I became an author without ever having had any desire to write! Let me explain: I was a Psychotherapist in private practice and busy, but always short on time or money due to the labour intensive nature of the work. I meditated about how to get more money and the "answer" came back "write the book". Well, what to write? I had read you should write about what you know so I started to try to convey all that I had learnt in 20 years of my professional life! It took me six yeaers! It was a long time before I found "my voice" - my style. Chatty rather than clinical as I believe in trying to connect with people. I literally had to screw up all my courage to start writing as it was a new world to share my thoughts with people I did not know. My most important book "Emotional Health for Emotional Wealth" was started on a bit of chip paper in a car park! I made lots of notes on scraps of paper and eventually orgainised them and pulled it all together and that was how this particular book was born! I was asked to write "Pre-Marital MOT: A Relationship Inspection" and that too is based on working with hundreds of individuals and couples. "Sexual Abuse & Incest" and "Physical and Emotional Abuse Hurt the World as Well as The Child" are two of the twenty self-help e-books now available in my Little Book Series of Emotional Health for Emotional Wealth. I have 7 rescue cats and adore all cats so when I was wanting an idea to help fund raise for cat rescue groups I wrote "Harry's Home! A Cat Compendium". If you love cats too this is the book for you! Watch my website for updates and do tell all your friends about me!
