Recovery from abuse Gallant Background Checks wanted to share this page and link with you, to help you if you are in need or know of some that is. http://www.recoveryfromabuse.com/ Recovery from AbuseChristian perspectives on recovery from abuseWelcomePlease note the tagline which says "for pastors and other religious professionals." That is the primary intended audience for this site. I know that many non-pastors will spend time on this site. But it will explain a lot if you keep in mind that the site was written primarily with pastors in mind. This is a work in progress. Additions, suggestions, complaints, rants, fatwas, feedback and what-ever are welcome and can be submitted using our contact page Most of the material on this site began with lectures presented in a class entitled "Pastoral Care and Abuse" at Fuller Theological Seminary. So. . . expect it to feel like the kind of thing pastors-in-training might need. You will notice in particular that much of the recommended reading is books or articles from theological journals that might be difficult for the average reader without a theological education. Also expect it to feel very protestant and generally evangelical (or post-evangelical, semi-evangelical, quasi-evangelical) in tone — if these things are ‘triggers’ for you, I encourage you to do what you need to do to take care of yourself. You and your well-being are far more important than anything you will find on a web page. Practice good self care.This site is NOT intended to be "everything a therapist needs to know" about abuse. It does not, for example, discuss the relative merits of different therapeutic strategies. For that you will need to look elsewhere.I hope you will find something here that is helpful.May your roots sink deeply in the soil of God’s love, Dale Ryan
