About this item
The statistics are staggering.One in four girls will experience sexual abuse by the time she is sixteen, and 48 percent of all rapes involve a young woman under the age of eighteen. It's not surprising then, that in a society where sexual abuse of young women is rampant, many women never share their stories. They remain hidden and invisible.In her pioneering work with young survivors through the last thirty years, Dr. Patti Feuereisen has helped teen girls and young women to find their voices, begin healing, and become visible.In this revised second edition, Dr. Patti's gentle guidance and the girls' powerful stories continue to create an encouraging message: Remarkable healing is possible if girls learn to share their stories in their teens and early twenties.
About the Author
Thank you for visiting my author page! I am a psychologist in private practice in Brooklyn, New York. I love working with teen girls and young women and have worked with them for the past 30 years. I believe that all sexual abuse survivors are self-determined, vital, beautiful, righteous and resilient. My book "Invisible Girls" is all about healing. Our third edition, released December 2018 is expanded and deals with current topics like the #MeToo movement, the American Gymnasts, and how girls are healing every day from sexual abuse. I am also the founder of Girlthrive Inc. the only non-profit honoring teen girls and young women who have survived sexual abuse with creative thriverships. Remember SEXUAL ABUSE IS NEVER THE SURVIVORS FAULT! I see teen girls and young women heal and thrive every day.
