After Sexual Trauma

It is estimated that one out of three women and one in six men experience sexual abuse or assault by age eighteen, not including adult victims. If you are suffering from the disorienting and long-lasting effects of sexual trauma, you are not alone. The journey toward healing and renewal begins with seeking God, who not only sees your past and present suffering but also holds your future. After Sexual Trauma combines biblical insights with Cates's personal and counseling experience to offer a message of hope. Each chapter addresses common questions and struggles faced by those who have experienced sexual trauma, including understanding the initial shock and confusion, addressing self-blame, understanding how God views victims, discussing the physical, mental, and emotional effects, and finding healing and wholeness.
