Summary
Did you suffer abuse or neglect as a child?
We know that one in seven children in the US has suffered from abuse in their families. Neglect is the most common form of child abuse. Authorities believe this is a conservative estimate given that many cases are unreported.
It's important to remember that "abuse" also refers to neglect. Childhood neglect is abuse. The effects of child abuse can be burdensome and far-reaching.
Some of these effects include:
• Shame about the abuse.
• Low self-esteem.
• Intrusive memories or flashbacks of the abuse.
• Problems with relationships, particularly intimate relationships.
• Feelings of continued vulnerability and distrust of others.
• Ongoing depression and anxiety, often undiagnosed and untreated.
For adult survivors of abuse and neglect, the three primary areas related to human rights are emotional needs, feelings, and boundaries. These three areas are referred to in this book as the "three stolen rights". If you were abused or neglected as a child, your rights were violated by a parent or caregiver in all three of these areas.
Being the adult child of an abusive or neglectful parent or caregiver doesn't determine your future. It is possible to heal and recover from your experience and reverse the long-term consequences of abuse.
Three Stolen Rights: How Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse and Neglect Can Claim Their Rights to Their Needs, Feelings, and Boundaries is the result of the author's many years of counseling both adolescents and adults abused or neglected in childhood.
This book guides you through each section, providing you with information and tools to address the rights you were denied. The goal is to validate your experience, assist you in healing the emotional wounds of your childhood, and provide direction in your recovery journey.
In this book, you will discover:
• Essential and specific needs every child (and adult) is entitled to.
• How addressing unresolved grief and loss can release some of the emotional
barriers to healing.
• Indicators that an adult survivor continues to experience toxic stress or traumatic reactions.
• Rules that operate in the abusive or neglectful family.
• How to acknowledge, identify, and express your feelings in a healthy manner.
• How our feelings are essential in providing valuable information that you can use in making
decisions or protecting your boundaries.
• Ways to boost and maintain a healthy self-esteem.
• How to determine who is a safe versus unsafe person in your daily interactions.
• The benefits of practicing healthy self-care.
• Tools for developing assertiveness and boundary setting.
• How joining a community of adult survivors of abuse can hasten your healing process.
• When to seek help from a mental health professional.
• The four primary components necessary in the recovery process.
• How to claim the fundamental, inviolable rights denied to you in childhood.
You don't need to have experienced abuse first-hand to benefit from this valuable knowledge. Whether a loving partner, spouse, friend, or co-worker, this information will help you understand what the abuse survivor is experiencing in their life. With such knowledge, you can offer meaningful support.
As an adult survivor, it is possible to break free from the trauma of abuse or neglect you experienced as a child or adolescent.

Informative !
This book is a very helpful guide for adults who were abused or neglected as children. It looks at how the survivor's emotional needs, feelings, and boundaries, which are some of the most basic human rights, were broken when he or she was a kid. By learning about these topics, readers will be able to take back their rights and stop the long-term effects of abuse.
Each part of the book has helpful information and advice, such as how to deal with unresolved grief, recognize toxic stress, and anxiety, express feelings, build good self-esteem, set limits, and take care of yourself.
This is the type of book I like to listen to, they are well-constructed and well-written, also I learn a lot, and it benefits the readers, well done.

Someone who understands
Dr. Linda Young has provided a book that is easy to read and digest for such a sensitive topic. Whether you are a survivor of abuse, fostering a child of abuse or in a relationship with someone who was abused, this book can help you understand the various ways the trauma affects your life and how to start making the changes so that you can begin healing. The author lays out the book so that you can listen to each chapter and move on to the next chapter with a deeper understanding of the topic that was just addressed.

Reclaiming their life and creating new boundaries is critical for abuse victims. By creating these boundaries, you are working to create what is okay for you and your future relationships. Victims of abuse usually blame themselves, and having this book can help people to start to work through the issues they are facing.

POWERFUL!
Despite the book's complex subject, I found it to be a simple read. I could understand and apply the facts Dr. Young presents to my life. I appreciated how she applied the principles addressed with examples from real-world situations. Her book teaches adult victims of childhood abuse how their past trauma affects their present emotional and psychological health, enables them to recognize their own needs, express their feelings in a healthy way, and establish boundaries that will shield them from further suffering. The book's sections each contain useful tips and information, such as how to handle unresolved sorrow, identify toxic stress and anxiety, express emotions, develop positive self-esteem, set boundaries, and take care of yourself.
Very strongly suggested
