Need a creative way to start your session? Use the Coping with Sexual Abuse Card Deck. The open-ended questions will break the ice and stimulate conversation. Use them alone or in conjunction with the corresponding page in the book.

Sample Questions:

State two words that describe who you were before your abusive situation.

How have you changed due to your traumatic experience?

Do you feel that you are safe in your community from your abuser or potential others? If not, what can you do about it?
