The trauma of my childhood resurfaced in 2022 after a major operation. I was lost, bewildered & frightened. I didn't know where to turn to. I felt so isolated, not knowing what to do. I found Perry via Facebook & read his book. It was so, so helpful realising that other men had gone through similar things when they were children. I decided I would join this community & at least write my journal to help with the healing process. The process of healing has been harrowing, but so worth it. I was so frightened to tell anybody at first because I was so afraid, but now I have found strength to openly talk about what happened to me. I've been so fortunate to have my faith & my church who have been so supportive & have encouraged my healing journey. My first draft was a confused mess. My mind was a whirlwind of memories. It just didn't read well at all. Then, I read Glenn's book 'Embracing me, God & Others'. I realised then that I could do short chapters. Glenn became my accountability partner & with his help & the fantastic support from the group I got my 2nd draft done. From there, with some adjustments & Perry's input the book got published. But having the support of a group of like minded people who have the same desire to heal through writing has really propelled me & encouraged me to keep going through the tough times. I'm dyslexic, so writing just a few sentences is hard, let alone a whole book, but I've done it. I know that there is absolutely no way this book would have been written without the Powerful Book's Tribe. You are an amazing bunch of people. If you're thinking about joining, please do. I'll say this about the group. They have stood by me in the dark times & have been quick to congratulate me when I've hit a milestone.

I have found more clarity and healing in the past month of working with Perry than I have in the last 40 years. Before starting the process of writing my book, I was on the highest dose of anxiety and depression meds. I was having panic attacks so frequently. I could barely get out of bed or leave the house most days. Having my story written out in black and white, and seeing those words on paper has freed me. I have dropped my meds to the lowest dose, and haven't had a panic attack since. I can sleep at night, without thoughts haunting me. I feel stronger than I have in many years.

Writing my biography, the good, the bad and the ugly has been an extraordinary experience. Being able to look back on experiences with fresh eyes instead of being stuck in the past is phenomenal. Being part of a writing support group of fellow survivors is beautiful. So proud of Perry and Emma and all my peers. We WILL break the silence with LOVE.

Before joining perry's book community group i had wanted to write my book for 2 years, in a month i have written all my chapters. I have made so much progress in such a short time, all the great information i couldn't of done it on my own. Plus all the amazing beautiful people. I highly recommend this group if your wanting to write a book it's given me motivation to write more books.

Perry's support has helped me step away from the shame, step away from the crippling procrastination that comes with it and I now have more energy, petite for life and for changing the world. So far I have challenged the professional bodies where processes enable rather than prevent therapists from behaving badly. I've built a directory 'Review-your-therapy.co.uk', the first directory which allows the public to review the work of their therapist anonymously. I am over 40,000 words into my first book about how I survived 7 years of therapeutic abuse. And I have a second book on the go called 'The informed therapy seeker' to help others new to getting help to navigate to the best possible support, so nobody else has to go through what I did. I could not have done any of this without the support of Perry's book community... which for me has been so so so much more than is articulated on his posts.
