Sinopse
I thought he was there to help me heal, but his office became my prison.
Much has been written about childhood sexual abuse, but what about the sexual abuse of adult women? Can adults be abused? Can adults be victims? The answer is yes. And the problem is rampant. Sadly, therapists abuse women, doctors abuse women, Christian leaders, bosses—in fact, wherever there is an imbalance of power, there is great potential for exploitation. One study showed that 12 percent of male therapists and three percent of female therapists have admitted to engaging in sexual activities with at least one patient. Another study revealed that you are more likely to be raped by your psychiatrist than you are the general public. Yet, abuse by therapists is rarely discussed.
When therapists abuse clients, the damage is staggering. Women who have suffered this horrific form of betrayal come out wondering...what happened? Was this abuse? Am I at fault? How did this happen?
Prayed Upon is the story of one woman’s escape from the abuse of a respected, churchgoing psychiatrist. Amy reaches out to Dr. Dolion for help with depression, but instead of providing healing, he leads her down a path of deception and betrayal. His office, which initially feels like a sanctuary, becomes a psychological prison, one from which Amy will have to fight to free herself. Prayed Upon, a true story, depicts Amy’s journey from victim to thriving child of God. Her brutal honesty provides an inside look at the warped beliefs that early abuse instills; beliefs that make adult victims vulnerable to sexual predators. Her story shines a light on the underreported sexual abuse of adults and ultimately the way victims can gain freedom from the bondage of shame that abuse leaves behind.
