#MeToo - counsellors and psychotherapists speak about sexual violence and abuse

Overview

In 2017 the global #MeToo movement burst through the conspiracy of silence around women's experience of sexual abuse and violence. Since then, other groups have found the courage to declare that they too have experienced sexual abuse and are unafraid and unashamed to let it be known. Now this ground-breaking book provides a space for counsellors and psychotherapists - more often the listeners - to tell their own stories, sometimes for the first time. Each chapter is written by a counsellor, psychotherapist or therapy client and followed up with an exploratory dialogue between writer and peer. Together the contributions form a community of #TherapistsToo voices, brought together in the hope that readers within and beyond the counselling and psychotherapy realm will feel less alone and more connected. This is a book for anyone wanting to understand the ubiquity of sexual violence and sexual abuse. It's about how to respond, support, raise awareness, campaign and be part of creating a culture that says #TimesUp!
