AM I NOT A PERSON PAPERBACK price £8-99
Here, she tells her harrowing story, how her vulnerability and innocence were abused time and time again... mentally, physically and sexually... and how `the system` failed her, labelling her as a problem, taking her children away from her, incarcerating her in psychiatric hospitals, giving her massive doses of drugs and ETC.
She also reveals for the first time, the rarely discussed long-term effects of abuse, in her case a soul destroying compulsive eating disorder, which has virtually become a disability.
Sylvia`s story gives a voice to the thousands of silent people around the world who are abused.
It is a story that has to be told because it really can change lives.

"The path to an integrated personality is never a smooth one and this powerful autobiography, details the dynamics surrounding the complexities of early relationships which would have a huge impact on the way you interact with the world. Sylvia`s world captures the psychology of the effects of abuse, maternal rejection and exploitation. It is a fascinating and painful journey to regaining control of one`s life, and leaves the reader feeling empowered to prevent abuse within human relationships. This book should be read by all Mental Health Professionals and will also be a friend to people who have been abused."

...I am 25 years old, I too am a SURVIVOR, I was sexually abused by my uncle, I was 5 yeas old when it started to happen... I realised that you are the only abuse survivor that I have ever talked to, and in fact are the only person that can relate to my story as I relate to yours ... I just want to say thank you, for telling your story, it helped me realise that we are worth so much, much, much more than I ever thought." | |||
