If you—or a loved one—is thinking about leaving sex industry work, this book is the encouraging, and practical resource you need to re-parent yourself with nurturing guidance and support every step of the way. The powerful insights, practical advice, and resources will make you feel like you are talking with a trusted friend who cares and has your back.
It is easy to get involved in the sex industry, but putting that world behind you and successfully healing takes a lot more than just quitting. Not only is there often a public record of what you did for work, it is common to also be brainwashed, suffer emotional/physical/mental abuse, contract infections, have to deal with legal ramifications, spiritual conflicts, toxic relationships, and long-term stigma. Sex workers are looked down upon by society that publicly rejects them, so healing the damage done can be tough. Many times, people are so glad to be done with sex work they never look back nor acknowledge that they were hurt by it. The reality is that there are long-term consequences and side effects from being involved, and knowing what they are can help you heal. The author has experienced this firsthand and now helps others move forward with their lives.
