Breaking the Silence: A Rag Doll With Dirty Hands
Breaking the Silence; A Rag Doll in Dirty Hands. A desolate broken heart, rejected by those who should love her, searching everywhere but the one place true love can always be found. Cutting to relieve the pain; ironic when that hurts less than the wounds of the heart. Silent screams for help that never comes, until… Breaking the Silence is a brutally honest and open look into one woman’s life of sexual abuse and neglect; documenting the pain and betrayal of sexual abuse and the struggle to survive and then overcome it. Jora remembers ‘weird things happening with Dad’ when she was very young, but hasn’t quite connected them with the cutting that started when she was a teenager, and continues even today when the pressure inside her head gets too much, and the alienation and intense loneliness she feels as an adult. It is only when her marriage is breaking down and she fears the impact that will have on her young children that she reaches out. In her coaching sessions, either face to face or via email, with John and Melissa Kruk, Jora takes one step forward or two steps back, but slowly the darkness of her past, and pain of her present, is exposed in courageous detail in her journal entries. John and Melissa Kruk are experienced life coaches working with those who have been through painful life experiences. John, who has a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, and Melissa, with a Bachelor’s in Psychology, have been working as life coaches since 2004. They have successfully reached many people through retreats for couples, men, and/or women as well as individual coaching sessions, focusing on the inner heart belief systems which either free us or imprison us. They offer insights into how we slowly change those long held and sometimes false internal belief systems which cause us pain and cause us to stumble through life in various ways. They call Texas home, but they reach out to help and heal wounded hearts all over the world. “This book, ‘Breaking the Silence’ is a wonderful example of the tremendous positive impact someone can have on another person. Jora’s honesty is breathtaking; John and Melissa’s words of guidance and healing apply to us all. When I first read it, I was amazed at the impact John and Melissa had on Jora, seeing her gradually healed from cutting, intense rage, and feelings of worthlessness. But several days later, I found out my own 13-year-old son was cutting because of his anger and negative feelings about himself. This book helped equip me to walk along with my son in ways that he needs as he tries to take small steps away from this form of self-abuse. I am very grateful to have learned many things about his heart (and mine) through this book.” Sarah Brightson* Speech Therapist. *name changed
