The Illness That Healed Me - An Account of Sexual Abuse and the Journey Into Healing
The Illness That Healed Me - An Account of Sexual Abuse and the Journey Into Healing A sudden illness in January 1988 put Janice M. Weinheimer to bed for the next five months, forever altering the course of her life. "My past was gone," she says, "and I would never again be who I had been." Flashbacks of sexual abuse, which shook her to her core, eventually followed after months and years of trying in vain to regain her health. At that point, nothing felt safe. All inner security had vanished. Doctors could find nothing wrong with her. Undaunted, she turned to seminars, alternative healing modalities, tapes, and the Internet, making new friends who served as guides along the way. But it would take years of intense soul-searching and strenuous impact training--which she describes as "the most arduous work I would ever encounter"--before she began to see some light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Her "false self" had to be crushed--totally, utterly--before she could find her way to the "inner me that had been waiting a lifetime to find freedom." The Illness That Heaeld Me tells the compelling story of a brave woman's daunting quest to purge herself of all-consuming demons. In the process, she surrenders to her Higher Power ... and her heart's desires pour forth.
