Overcoming Evil (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798233048135)

A hauntingly evocative, unforgettable, fast paced non-fiction short story collection about the evils many people experience but are too afraid to actually speak aloud. Fear often keeps people's mouths locked. This collection "unlocks the bolt" and gives those who once felt voiceless a microphone to speak. Often people feel too ashamed to even mention their traumatic experiences at all. It goes unspoken, mouth zipped shut for eternity. It sometimes goes unwritten, undocumented as well! Unprocessed trauma(s) can overtime lead to a devastating outcome for someone's overall mental stability. Plans will fail if there are no concrete landmark goals set in place.

Written in a colloquial, everyday type of language; these are real stories told by real people shared anonymously. It pulls back the curtains so to speak, to reveal the truth no one dares thinking of saying. You will be amazed at the strength and determination each character has to keep persevering despite life's unexpected tragedies.

One of the safest and healthiest practices to heal is to learn mental health coping strategies from a licensed mental health professional to thrive, not just survive. Life is meant to be enjoyed, not be in a constant state of mental and emotional crisis!

This solid collection of short creative non-fiction stories covers experiences from Survivors of domestic violence, childhood sexual abuse, substance abuse, generational trauma, mental and emotional abuse, and stalking.

If you are willing and ready to face your own fears head on, relate to these types of traumas personally in any way, or wonder if what you are currently going through really even is trauma; then Benefield's "Overcoming Evil" is definitely the read for you.
