Thriving After Sexual Abuse with Author and Incest Survivor Denise Bossarte

A Fine Time for Healing

Today's special guest, Denise Bossarte, a survivor of incest, has often wanted to share her story of healing with other survivors, but struggled to find a way to tell it. When she learned about Dr. Nassar’s abuse of gymnasts her heart broke and she said to herself “I could help women like these by sharing my healing story.” Denise has spent most of her adult life on a healing journey to recover from my childhood abuse. She has used multiple practices in her healing journey, including therapy, yoga, meditation, being in nature, and creative expression (art, photography, and writing poetry, fiction and non-fiction). She shares her story and the steps it took for her to move from survivor to thriver in her self-help book Thriving After Sexual Abuse: Break Your Bondage to the Past and Live a Life You Love. Thriving After Sexual Abuse is an eloquent and empathetic self-development book laying out a blueprint for survivors to heal themselves. Denise Bossarte writes with fierce candor as she shares her own traumatic experience with childhood sexual abuse. Thriving provides tips and suggestions for readers to seek help, self-reflect, and pursue healing through a range of activities and practices and offers tangible strategies for readers to reclaim their lives and move forward to a life of Thriving. Denise Bossarte is a #1 Best Selling and award-winning Author, poet, photographer & artist whose passion is sharing the worlds of her mind and camera. She enjoys writing, teaching Miksang contemplative photography workshops, and going on photo shoots to discover the extraordinary in the ordinary world.
