Family and Adolescent Counseling
30 April 2025

Sexual abuse & harassment

Level Up: Healing Mode Activated is a bold, no-holds-barred guide for adolescent boys (ages 12-14) who have experienced sexual abuse-and for the parents and caregivers who want to help them heal. Written in a direct, teenage-friendly voice and packed with relatable metaphors (""shame is like carrying someone else's trash,"" ""your feelings are a group chat with 100 unread messages""), this book breaks every silence and shame barrier that keeps survivors stuck in the past. Across ten compassionate, action-packed chapters, readers will: Name and normalize their pain (""What exactly is sexual abuse?"" ""Why am I feeling so guilty?"") and learn how physical reactions don't mean consent. Find courage to speak out (""Breaking the Silence"") and reclaim control over their own narrative. Shatter self-blame (""It Was Not Your Fault"") and reframe shame as the abuser's burden, not theirs. Rebuild identity and self-worth through healthy definitions of masculinity, emotional honesty, and goal-setting. Ditch destructive coping (""Why Acting Out Doesn't Help"") in favor of proven strategies-journaling, movement, breathwork-that truly aid recovery. Reconnect mind and body with simple self-care routines for sleep, nutrition, movement, and grounding. Develop resilience skills for handling anger, anxiety, and sadness without shame or self-harm. Map out healthy relationships built on respect, consent, and clear boundaries, learning how to date safely when the time is right. Set a forward-looking plan (""Moving Forward - Your New Beginning"") with personalized goals, a trusted support network, and confidence-building practices. Every chapter offers ""Power Moves,"" real-life workbook pages, and quick ""Cheat Sheets"" for both boys and their caregivers-making it easy to turn insight into action. Whether read solo or shared between parent and child, Level Up equips survivors with self-compassion, practical tools, and the unwavering message: Healing is not forgetting. Healing is choosing to level up.

About the Author Rick Morris, MA, LMHC, is a licensed mental health counselor and past president of the Treatment & Prevention of Sexual Abuse Association. For over a decade, he has specialized in court-ordered treatment for juvenile offenders (ages 13-18) and their families, blending clinical expertise with a gift for speaking directly to teenagers. A sought-after trainer for professionals, educators, and parents, Rick created www.Tools4Teens.net and www.SayHelp.net to provide accessible, stigma-free resources on adolescent sexual health and trauma recovery. In Level Up: Healing Mode Activated, Rick draws on his front-line experience and personal passion to deliver a guide that survivors-and their caregivers-can actually use. With clarity, humor, and unflinching honesty, he breaks down complex clinical concepts into metaphors that resonate: comparing emotional triggers to ""glitches"" in a video game system, or reframing self-compassion as ""power-ups"" in life's toughest levels. Rick's mission is simple: to ensure every young survivor knows they are believed, they are not broken, and they have the power to write their own next chapter.
