The Survivor’s Manual was created in response to the thousands of emails, cards, letters and phone calls that I received after making the documentary Searching For Angela Shelton where I found that most of the Angela Sheltons had been victims of rape, childhood sexual abuse or domestic violence. The most common question I get asks me how to heal and move past the pain into joy. I decided to share what I learn on my own personal journey of healing as I learn it by starting the Survivor Manual.
I believe that if all survivors start to heal and protect themselves as well as their children then we will Break the Cycle of abuse. The Survivor Manual exists to inspire and empower survivors and their loved ones to face all fears and move out of the victim roles and into becoming Warriors for the Movement.
