COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - ColoradoDesk -- Joyce, founder of the non-profit group, Finding Our Voices, shares her captivating narrative that unfolds like a mystery, exposing the cultural myth that denial and silence are effective responses to the abuse inflicted on 1 in 5 children. When life is dramatically interrupted by debilitating physical symptoms, she is forced to begin a journey in which she confronts the unhealed and forgotten childhood sexual abuse she experienced growing up. Authenticity rings as Beyond Aftershocks traces her journey from breakdown to breakthroughs via flashbacks, therapies, and healing art to experience post traumatic growth. It witnesses a remarkable woman overcoming the bitterness of betrayal and the sting of shame to reclaim her true self.  This story is not about the abuse but rather the author's triumph over adversity which empowers other survivors with gentle nudges to reflect on their experience, culminating in health, vitality, peace, and service to others.
