Inside Scoop Live and Reader views present Father Heyward Ewart as he talks about his new book Am I Bad? Recovering from Abuse. Find your way to freedom today! If you were abused or neglected as a child, chances are that you have been your whole life, whether you are a man, a woman, or a teen. Child abuse so mangles the personality that the victim unconsciously attracts abusers throughout the life cycle. Lies about yourself were planted deep in your mind by the abuse, and you still believe them. They are crippling your life! Do you have any of these signs? You have symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Until you understand exactly what the abuse did to you, you cannot get free. You can stay in therapy your whole life and never get a clue, or you can unravel the mysteries once and for all and bring everything to light by reading “Am I Bad? Recovering from Abuse.” “Am I Bad?” is a great resource for victims, therapists, and group work.
