A couple more resources recommended by fellow marriage bloggers I trust: Theophostic (http://theophostic.com/) offers a different kind of ministry to abuse survivors. Also Diane Langberg, PhD gave a presentation on counseling adult survivors with childhood trauma; she has 35 years of experience in this area and her resource list is here: http://fracc.org/diane-langberg-books/

There are physical therapists that specialize in this area. My wife was still experiencing stabbing pain with any activity 2 1/2 years after our daughter was born but her OB kept telling her “It takes time.” Like J said, don’t settle for that. It took doing some internal stretches in the end but now she is more comforable than ever before.

It will make you cry the whole way through it, but it’s extremely helpful. I had looked at a couple of other books before I found that one, but I would only recommend the one by Murphey. He has a website, too, for men: http://shatteringthesilence.wordpress.com.

I’m polling some fellow marriage bloggers for resources they are aware of, so I’ll expand my answer later. However, I did find some helpful information online. I know there are organizations that assist with childhood abuse survivor healing, counselors who specialize in this topic (which would require local research), but there are some resources listed on this website: http://www.achristianhome.com/pamela's_thoughts/ChildhoodSexualAbuse.htm. I’m not familiar with A Christian Home, but the links looked good. Just be discerning. The book I also found recommended more than any other was The Wounded Heart by Dan Allender. Wish I could send it to you!

I’ll follow up with more info later. Blessings, Jennifer!
