In spite of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, many women are still afraid to say no to unwanted sexual advances and reluctant to report sexual violations. Far too many college students are being raped and are afraid to report it. Women are subjected to sexual harassment, sexual bullying, and sexual pressure every day on the street, at work, and at home but are unable to speak truth to power or to report these sexual offenses. I'm Saying No! is written specifically for these women—women who are still afraid to speak up for themselves, women who need to learn how to do so, and women whose personal history of child sexual abuse or sexual assault as an adult has wounded them so much that they have lost their voice. Here, Beverly Engel—an internationally recognized psychotherapist and acclaimed advocate for victims of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse—offers a ground-breaking program to help all the women who have been silenced by past trauma, women who were raised to believe they didn't have a right to say no, and women who have spoken out in the past only to go unheard. Bold and timely, I'm Saying No! offers women the encouragement, support, and guidelines they need in order to become the powerful women they are—women who believe in themselves and stand up for themselves.

      Starred review from May 1, 2019

      In light of the #MeToo movement, psychologist Engel (The Emotionally Abusive Relationship; Partners in Recovery) provides women with hope, comfort, and a number of preventative strategies in reacting to and recovering from sexual assault. Engel points out that empowerment comes from the inside out and teaches women how to honor their bodies, own and release righteous anger, and learn to let go of "nice girl" behavior. She discusses why it's so hard for women to say "no" and outlines concrete strategies for setting boundaries and stopping acquaintance and stranger rape. VERDICT This comprehensive book supplies women and interested general readers with everything they need to know, from healing after childhood abuse to ending sexual harassment. Essential for all women.
