Finding My Voices: A Journey through Abuse and Dissociation

By Barbara E Kompik

Anne's journey is one of turmoil and pain as she suffered from emotional and sexual abuse at the hands of family members she grew up with and loved and trusted. Having not known why she was pegged the "different" one of the family, she learns of her abuse after having been married for 20 years, struggling through suicidal thoughts, rage, and the threat of divorce as her husband and her seek counsel to find out what is causing their problems. After years of searching through counselors, therapists, church leaders, teachers, friends, and marriage books, a psychiatrist's diagnosis includes pre-verbal abuse, abuse taking place in her life before she could even speak.This is her story of growing up on the farm she loved, her struggle as a teenager to find herself, and the insider conversations she has with the little people she finds within herself that helped her to survive the unspeakable.
