A groundbreaking new book by Jan L. Frayne and Donna Bailey.
With unflinching honesty and hard-won wisdom, authors Jan L. Frayne and Donna Bailey present
Phoenix Warriors – Beyond the Ashes of Childhood Sexual Abuse, a survivor-led,
trauma-informed book that gives voice to the silenced and strength to those
still healing.
Following the success of Jan Frayne’s best-selling book, Beyond
Survivor – Rising from the Ashes of Childhood Sexual Abuse, this powerful second
volume expands the conversation, weaving two deeply personal testimonies with
therapeutic insight, poetic reflection, and grounded tools for recovery.
“Healing should be a very personal experience,” writes Frayne. “Not everyone
reacts to the same stimuli in the same way. This book is not a ‘do as we say’ —
it’s a ‘do what feels right for you.’”
In Phoenix Warriors, Donna Bailey shares
her harrowing account of childhood and domestic abuse, alongside inclusive
therapeutic content designed for survivors of all genders.
Jan L Frayne offers his
extended autobiographical testimony, a short collection of poems, and an
extensive set of tools focused on the unique challenges faced by male survivors.
Together, they explore:
• PTSD and Complex PTSD
• Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)
• Flashbacks,
touch, sexuality, and inner child work
• Consent, boundaries, and emotional
embodiment
• Grounding practices, somatic wisdom, and traditional as well as
alternative healing methods.
The result is a work that is not only emotionally
intimate and therapeutically grounded, but also fiercely honest, a companion for
survivors, loved ones, clinicians, and advocates alike.
Phoenix Warriors is not
about giving answers, it is about making space for truth.
It honours the courage
of speaking, the necessity of being heard, and the fierce tenderness of
surviving in a world that too often turns away.
Available in eBook, Paperback, Hardcover and Audio book from Amazon stores worldwide.
