Personally,
I grew hostile, withdrawn and secretly terrified;
although I hid my terror behind my anger and my "walls". 

But who did that hurt - And how did it help? 

And yes, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that if you have been raped your life has been changed forever.  You'll never again be who you were.  But that's OK, because you now have the opportunity to become more.

And because rape affects us on such a deeply personal level, we must take the time to figure out how to deal with it and get ourselves out of the hole that we often find ourselves in afterwards...and back into our lives.  

Because let's face it, you were assaulted, violated, and terrified.  You felt more vulnerable than you ever imagined you possibly could.  And the fear that is generated from these emotions alone is overwhelming.  It will consume your life if you don't stop it.

I've lived through Rape more than once...and I fought my way back up to the light.  And it's through these experiences that I learned what needs to be done in order to keep this assault from contaminating everything else you ever try to do.

Because I know for sure that you can't just pretend it didn't happen or try not to think about it and stuff it into the back of your mind; hoping it will never rear its ugly head again...because it always does.  You can't ignore what happened to you...it won't let you. 

And you can't go kill the guy....even though that seems like a viable solution at first.  And you can't lock yourself inside of your house and never go out again, although that too at first is a reasonable reaction.  And you can't just "live with it"...because then you stop living.

So what do you do? 

My answer is...Many small things.
Things that take awhile to figure out, but really are relatively
easy to do.

Things I share with you all throughout this book.

You see, one of the first things I will share with you is that I was a practicing hypnotist for many years.  I understand a great deal about how our thoughts affect us and how they can either cure or kill us.

I KNOW how powerful your thoughts are.  And if you've been raped, I know what you're thinking.  And I also know that sometimes it just takes one simple idea to change your thoughts entirely, which will end up changing your life. 

PLUS...I'll give you several short and easy exercises that you can do which will have a remarkable impact upon how you look at your life, your rape and your future.

Next, I will share that I'm also someone who was born with the ability to communicate with Spirit...I know...some might find this dubious at best, but it is true...and it is all I have ever known my life to be.

And what I will share with you through this ability is the answers I heard about why it had to happen, why it had to happen to me and what I could do to overcome it.   These responses are woven all throughout the book.  And these insights are very powerful all by themselves!

So...

If you find that you somehow keep sabotaging your success,
your relationships, your finances, your life...

Or you're afraid to trust...

Or unwilling to open up to anyone...

and are simply lost in your pain...

I can help you...perhaps in a somewhat unusual way...but rape is unusual - isn't it?

• I've also included information to help you, your friends, your mother, your wives and daughters to learn how to recognize a rapist long before they ever have a chance to get to you.
  
  
• Along with showing you how to heal and overcome it if you are the "1".

Don't arrange your life around your rape any longer.  Stand up and choose to try something new, something different, and something with vast healing potential.

I will never claim to be able to make you forget what happened to you.  I haven't forgotten what happened to me.  But I can help you find a better way of understanding it so that it doesn't control your life any longer.

Also know that I'm not some religious zealot who's going to try to convert you to my beliefs....I am simply a person with an unusual gift who doesn't really care what you do or don't believe spirituality.  I only care that you get well because I've felt your pain.  So I share with you the insights that I was given; and as always, it's entirely up to you what you do with them. 

You see I know that if you have unhealed scars from rape,
you quit living, you quit laughing and you quit enjoying your life.

Let me show you what I have grown to understand about the remarkable power of the human soul, the human heart and the human mind...

You may have to try some things that you never imagined you would...but they're painless.
And I've often found that it's when people are at the end of their rope that they call someone like me.  And that's O.K. with me, as long as I keep their rope from ending.   

Please don't let you go away....fight for you....fight for your right to go on living your life without this anchor holding you down.  Don't let him win!
