Finding the Courage to Speak is a brave, well-written book that addresses a wide range of complex topics in a clear, knowledgeable way - including the experience of dissociation, traumatic memory, and the impact of trauma on physical health. Speaking out about abuse continues to be a crucial part of healing - and of working toward a world where abuse no longer damages the lives of children. Paige Alisen's book is a worthwhile contribution to this endeavor. -- Ellen Bass, coauthor of The Courage to Heal: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse
