It's Not Your Fault

This book was written to help people understand that most adolescent and adult behavior, good and bad, stems from childhood experiences. If those experiences have included childhood abuse you may be doing and saying things that directly result from that abuse, things you are not consciously aware of. It's like knowing that you have certain likes and dislikes, fears, hopes, and dreams but probably don't know why you use a certain toothpaste, deodorant, or even why you like or dislike a certain food. These patterns began in your childhood, and you've continued them until now without giving them much thought. This book was also written to help you uncover past wounds and to heal them while gaining the inner strength to change your life; as well as to help you gain the tools to discover your inner power while understanding that the abuse was not your fault. At the end of each chapter there are included some tips and questions for you to think about as you read this book. These questions are offered as a guide for you in your healing process. Spend some time thinking about the questions and writing your thoughts in a notebook or journal. There are no right or wrong answers to these questions. They are answers that are meant for you. If the questions lead you to write about other things, then write what is on your mind. You may be pleasantly surprised at the conclusions your writing leads you to. It is my feeling that the best thing you can do is bring these thoughts to the surface so that they don't stay part of painful patterns. Why not get the help you need to heal these wounds and discover your inner power in the process?
