Warrior Sister, Cut Yourself Free - Paperback

by Jenifer Debellis (Author)

A vital self-help resource for teen girls and young women, "Warrior Sister, Cut Yourself Free" is the roadmap to recovery from physical and sexual assault trauma, a must-have for survivors and the professionals who support them on their path to healing.

Warrior Sister, Cut Yourself Free is a survivor's guide for teen girls, young women, and anyone healing from assault and abuse, as well as the professionals who serve and support them. This "empathetic and knowledgeable recovery manual" (Kirkus Reviews) is essentially a tailored roadmap for survivors thrown into situations where they must become their own hero and save their own lost world. The pages within are designed specifically for teen girls and young women because they are impacted most by physical violence, have the least recovery resources, and should never have to walk this path alone.

As part of the RESTORE YOUR INNER WARRIOR(R) series and the aRIFT+ Warrior Project outreach, this book helps survivors navigate their healing journey. From survival to self-restoration. Warrior Sister, Cut Yourself Free offers trauma-informed support, knowledge, and strategies survivors need to rebuild their confidence, self-worth, and life.
