The Molly Project

Book excerpt: Traumatic events have lasting significances even if we are at first unaware. Post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSS) formerly referred to as PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is more apparent than ever whether it be from being on a war field, being bullied in your school years, or being abused physically, emotionally, or sexually. There are different levels of pain, and therefore many different needs for recovery. The Molly Project is a book that integrates story, journey, and scripture towards the path of healing. It provides tips for caregivers, an up-to-date view of research with the brain, and encouragement for those who are processing their own struggles. Mental health is often seen as a forbidden discussion item, but it is to be taken as seriously as physical health issues. While The Molly Project features childhood sexual abuse as the recovery model, there will be relevant information for many readers. It is a must-read for all who seek to understand the role of the subconscious and how to minister to the truly brokenhearted among us.
