About this listen
Unlock The Door - Beyond Sexual Abuse illuminates thirty-nine stories of personal strength, courage, and resiliency. The author vividly captures the traumatic and lifelong effects of sexual abuse in her in-depth interviews. Topics include: Family Secrets, Trusted Others, To Punish-To-Protect, A Time To Heal, Advocacy and the audiobook also includes songs, about sexual abuse, written by the author.
The way to begin resolving trauma is to talk about it, to bring it to the light of day. As one of the contributors in Unlock The Door states, "When one person's words flow and another person listens, magic happens." In this book people speak and we, the audience, listens. And we must listen.
Best-selling author Gabor Maté M.D. wrote the powerful foreword. The main theme in the book is the focus on healing and moving beyond victimization as well as educating others about this devastating social issue. Survivors of sexual abuse often feel isolated and alone, Unlock The Door gives a voice to those who have not yet spoken, by allowing us to remember that we are not alone.
"Deb Maybury provides validation and hope to survivors whose lives, through no fault of their own, have been shaken body and soul. Her writing is terse, her point sharp and abundantly clear. Victims need a justice system that better serves their needs and more services capable of supporting their journey to wellness." (Dr. Fred Matthews, Psychologist)

These are just some words used to describe the reality of dating after divorce. Like all major life changes, going through a divorce can be a very stressful time. No matter how long you were married, the act of parting from the person in life you may have been closest to can be jarring, challenging, and heartbreaking. The emotional exhaustion, the fear of failure, and that nagging feeling that maybe you're just meant to be alone can all make dating seem like a chore or something you don't want to do.

If you’re interested in making money with stocks, you’re not alone. A recent Gallup poll showed that nearly 6 in 10 American adults have money in the stock market. But unless you’ve previously worked as an investment banker, you might have better odds of making money at the casino than with stocks. In fact, researchers from the University of California found that 90 percent of retail investors and day traders lose money. Which is why most people think winning in the stock market is simply a game of chance.

This book really shows the devastating effect sexual abuse has on someone's life. Some of the statistics in this book are mind-blowing. I thought the personal stories were especially helpful, showing that abuse can affect people of all races and socioeconomic statuses. If only the abusers could listen to this, they might see how their choices leave life long scars.
