It happened to me
Carter, Wm. Lee.
- Reading
- Offer the reader choice about when and with whom to use the exercises. Check in afterwards, and let them pause or seek support if a topic feels difficult.
- Themes
- Recovery and support: The workbook frames recovery as a process and presents support as important. Its exercises invite teenagers to explore trauma and their thoughts, feelings and beliefs. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Worth knowing
- Sexual abuse and its emotional effects are central, including trauma, recovery and relationships. Consider whether working through these subjects in a workbook feels manageable for the reader at this time.
