The Survival is a true reflection of over twenty years of therapy as a user of mental health services. The ambiguous care on a psychiatric ward is demonstrated as Lisa describes her struggles to come to terms with the abuse, and how painful the journey to being healed is through complex circumstances and revelations.
The book is powerful and emotional and through Lisa’s honesty the reader can start to understand some of the pain and rational of a survivor of child abuse, the strength of grooming, the denial and conflict, and how a survivor is reluctant to believe anything else than the abuser was being loving and caring at the time of the abuse.
Lisa’s account has already been recognized, as significant from many medical professionals for the experience of her past. Her powerful struggle to overcome the harm inflicted with the support of others is of huge interest and many survivors will be able to relate to the emotional journey of events.
Dr Trevor Friedman has written the foreword for The Survival and this also demonstrates the significance of the book.
FOREWORD
I was very pleased to be asked to write a foreword for Lisa’s new book. I was Lisa’s psychiatrist and figure as ‘Dr Lynn‘ in her previous book – A Fine Line. I treated Lisa for almost 20 years; an extremely long time to see any patient in the National Health Service. I remember during her therapy sessions, Lisa telling me that she intended to write a book about her life and treatment. We often discussed the purpose of the book and what she hoped to gain from writing it. She never expected it to have the success it has achieved and that so many thousands of people would read it and find it of interest and benefit to them.
The reason that the account of her journey over the years and the therapy she received is important and interesting is that Lisa gives a fascinating insight to her experience of undergoing treatment; both the positive and negative aspects. The book is not meant to be a scientific, rational account of someone who has been severely abused disclosing her experiences and this leading to a cathartic moment of insight and cure. Lisa describes that whilst intellectually understanding that she suffered abuse, she struggles with the conflict of accepting that she was abused by people she believed were caring or loving at the time. The book describes how difficult it can be to overcome the resistance to change. Lisa’s account of her treatment illustrates that whilst insight is obviously important in getting better the process of being cured and being content is much more complex and tortuous.
The book also provides great insight into the experience of being a psychiatric patient; particularly as an inpatient on a busy ward. She describes how care was or was not provided. As a consultant psychiatrist, I did not always know what really happened in the ward at night times and weekends when there were fewer senior staff around. Her account was of such significance that it became required reading for senior managers in our mental health organisation. Lisa was also asked by the Chief Executive to offer advice about the nursing care and organisation for a new all-female ward. This illustrates the importance of her account of her experiences.
The book is also a very personal account from Lisa. I may disagree with some of her understanding or interpretation of events. The value of the book comes from her honesty in writing what she experienced and believed at the time. The reader has the opportunity to hear Lisa’s voice over the years; her struggles to unearth the truth about her life. It is not a simple story with an easy conclusion; it is all the more powerful and realistic for that. It will obviously be of interest to people who have suffered abuse in their own lives but also to a wider audience of anyone interested in understanding how an intelligent young woman can be seduced by abusers and the huge struggle to undo the harm caused.

I am not trying to be mean here but two things come to mind. First the details of the abuse were confusing to me. Already severly depressed, I felt lost. As the scenes switch and the flow erratic, it was hard to know what was present and past. The book is very well articulate and.. I have a severe case of GAD and MDD, added to that is the Epilepsy and Pyschogenic factors. The book revealed some of the pain associated in my own childhood. The abuse and ideations landed me on diability. Recovering has been difficult. I like the term "chemical straight jackets" and is spot on. Were it not for my two cats, I would not be here today. My DR drafted a letter to that effect, that my cats kept me safe.Sorry for rambling but your book made some salient points as to the effect of abuse (in all forms), was increased anxiety and fear. One day at a time. Deconstructing phobias will the lynch-pin of recovery. But it is slow, arduous and frustrating. I cannot reveal all of my issues in detail, about the abuse. The doctors prying and lack of a time table, made me angrier yet. (in the book). We are all in different stages of reconciling the past.

The Survival A True Story by Lisa WB Following A Fine Line A Balance to Survive edition by Lisa WhenhamBossy MBPsS HSC Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
An Awesome book. . .
I read Lisa's first book, and was dumb-struck.
So, when I learned she was publishing a second, I simply couldn't wait to get my hands on it..... and I'm so glad I did.
She continues to be an inspiration to us all, and that inspiration is clearly recognised within her written word.
This book is a "must read" for everyone. It doesn't matter what walk of life you come from, you will get something out of this book.
I was lucky enough to be able to receive a signed copy of her first book, "A Fine Line - A Balance to survive", and read that, as I did this one, in one sitting.
The, sometimes hard, read had me on the edge of my chair and the tears rolling down my cheeks, (please bear in ind - I'm a shaven-headed, tattooed 46 year old!).
If you choose to read this and haven't yet read the first, I urge you to do so first.
I take immense pleasure in giving this five stars - well done Lisa, and thank you so much for sharing. . .
