Never Tell Recovering from Childhood Sexual Abuse eBook Catherine McCall
Riveting account of life with a monster, of the utter control of a child, the horror of entrapment with no one safe to tell. As a victim reading countless recordings of the sexual, emotional, and psychological torment of children, I have long held the opinion that this is epidemic, known or suspected and insidiously condoned. Children of both sexes are devalued even as they wear their wounds sometimes blatantly, as like a silent scream. McCall's reveal of endless and horrific abuse left me shaking with rage and weeping with sorrow, thinking recovery would be impossible. What is amazing is that so many children persist in loving their abuser, that they survive to reach wholeness, able to rebuild themselves. The desolation and complete abandonment is brought home masterfully, as is the hard work toward recovery by a writer who puts you smash into the scene. You become the child, and, finally, the recovered adult. The shining star here? Her husband.Product details

Never Tell Recovering from Childhood Sexual Abuse eBook Catherine McCall Reviews
I'm shocked by the nightmare Catherine went thru and her siblings as well , its heartbreaking!! I have suffered thru all kinds of of abuse including sexual as an adult and the thought if children going through it and more makes me sick and very sad. Nobody deserves to go through any kind of abuse but especially children shouldn't ever !! Happy ending to this story that year's of therapy , hard work and many tears Catherine was able to move on with her life .
What was it like to be a child and live at the mercy of a monster? This book answers that question and many more. The most courageous act is the one of forgiveness, something I'm not sure I could've ever done. Sociopaths and psychopaths are truly evil, capable of unbelievably cruelty because they have no conscience or empathy. Are they mentally ill? Of course they are. The real question is can they be cured?
When the Piano Stops--Catherine Graham McCall
I happened on this book through a Facebook Connection with anyone who had attended my high school. Catherine Graham McCall's name came up. As I gazed through her profile, I came upon the title of this book. As I read a brief description, I could hardly believe what I was reading.
In full disclosure, I knew of Catherine Graham(McCall). She was several years ahead of me in high school. I did not know her well. My family went to her father for their opthamoloigic needs as he was a well respected physician in the neighborhood. She lived several blocks away from me in the mansion she so well described. She was, as I remember a popular, well rounded girl.
I purchased the book and began reading. I could not put it down. I have done a lot of work with trauma survivors and as such have done a lot of reading about the subject. This book was riveting and horrific at the same time. Her description of her childhood, incestuous and violent events as well as the many gifts that she received from her parents were as I understand the lives of many survivors.The path to recovery is well described as are the events leading up to her discovery of what actually happened to contribute to her initial symptomatology What makes the family dynamics so complicated is the wondering how can one still have any affection or regard at all for someone who did so much harm. The author describes in great detail her struggle to come to terms with George(her father) , ultimately finishing with him but not without much struggle. Her description of what the ravages of alcoholism can do to some perfectly respectable people is eye opening.
This is a must read for any practitioner working with incest survivors as well as any survivor themselves. Caveat emptor-this is not an easy or enjoyable book. It brings you up close and personal in the most graphic way to what evil is. While George might have had bipolar disorder , it in no way explains the unspeakable acts that he perpetrates on his oldest daughter.
Luckily for Catherine, she was blessed with an understanding, patient husband as well as a very caring and talented psychotherapist. She gives us the gift of allowing us into the very personal and sacred aspects of her life and also brings us out the other side for which we are very grateful

This memoir is an overwhelmingly powerful and honest retelling of a tormented childhood. Raped and molested repeatedly by an insane father from a young age, it is not until much later in her adult life, that the author is able to retrieve the repressed memories of this horror. Her direct and unpretentious descriptions grab the reader's attention and never lets go. Having been a spouse of an incest survivor myself, the story hit very close to home, triggering an intense emotional reaction, and thus revealing to me my incomplete healing of my ex-wife's abusive childhood as well. The prose is written chronologically, although McCall only remembers the events decades later. In another's hands, this might reduce the suspense of the work, but in this case, the reader is held fast to the story, waiting for the day of reckoning between the abuser and the abused. I have read many memoirs on this subject and what makes this book so successful is McCall's uncanny ability to be so open, honest, and detailed. The book should be required reading for all incest survivors and their families, as it shows how forgiveness and honesty can ultimately bring some peace to all of those affected.
I started the book wanting to learn more about sexual abuse. I wanted to understand the inner world of some of my client’s and better understand what they went through as children. One thing that struck me was the effect the therapist has on the client as the relationship between Catherine and her therapist was so affirming for her. In addition, I did gain a vast wealth of knowledge of what it means to be a survivor and it was written in a way to keep me thoroughly engaged.
