Bok av Rena Romano
Welcome, you are about to begin a new and innovative program called The THRIVE Perspective®. This four-step self-guided journal can be used alone or as a companion book with the online course. It is designed to guide Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) Sexual Assault (METOO) and Domestic Violence (DV) AFTER COUNSELING, to THRIVE confidently, and authentically in life!

One of my proudest moments is the great honor of sharing my story on ?The Oprah Winfrey Show? and YES it was the scariest thing I have ever done. I told myself I had to do it ?Because I grew tired of being ashamed of crimes I did not commit!?
I think you?ll agree most of us want to have a happier, more joyful life. To accomplish this, we must understand change begins with us ? by shifting our mindset, our beliefs and attitudes no matter what we?ve gone through. As that old saying goes ?free your mind, your life will follow.? This means focusing our attention on a goal, and our subsequent actions will yield results. Negative thoughts equal negative results. Positive thoughts provide positive results! It really is that simple! The tricky part is getting our mind to stop focusing on the problem: the negative aspects of our lives and instead to fully focus on our strengths and the solution, or the ideal situation we want.
Many of us get stuck in that mental wheel that spins round and round, where we focus on wh...
