No one--not counsellors, support groups, or other survivors--could give her any advice about how to find the desire that could bring her back to joy, intimacy, and connection. She had to make it up on her own. In \u003cem\u003eWant\u003c\/em\u003e, Julie tells the story of getting from the devastation of trauma to living a full life in eight sometimes challenging, often bumbling, and occasionally delightful steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExperience hope, healing and recovery.\u003c\/strong\u003e We have plenty of stories about the helplessness, frustration, and vengeful feelings that can follow trauma. Culturally, we have started a conversation about these experiences, and we're all confused about what this all means for our relationships with each other. We need stories of hope, healing, and recovery. Survivors of assault, if you've been thinking to yourself, \"I thought it was just me,\" Julie is here to show you that you are not alone. Your loved ones may not know how to support you, but they can learn more about your experiences and how to walk alongside you through this book, just as you can learn how to recover from the trauma you've experienced. \u003cem\u003eWant\u003c\/em\u003e offers a window into one person's experience of recovery--plus the happy ending we all need to know is possible after trauma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julie Peters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1633539644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781633539648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Julie Peters","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994314801407,"sku":"9781633539648","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ccb7072-8866-4bbc-ae33-75b6d0fc102c.jpg?v=1683329412","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/want-julie-peters-9781633539648","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
