Heroes, Hope, and Healing-Accepting Your Inner Daredevil: A Guide to Overcoming Fear and Building Self-Esteem for Survivors of Adverse Childhood Exper - Paperback

Matt Murdock, the "Devil of Hell's Kitchen," is known as Marvel Comics' superhero Daredevil. The blind lawyer and crime fighter uses his own adverse childhood experiences of losing his sight while saving the life of an innocent bystander, coming of age in an underprivileged single-parent home, and then grieving the murder of his father, to bring hope to others seeking justice in the courtroom, and protection from villains across the streets and rooftops of New York City.

Daredevil is truly a "Man Without Fear." But is this possible? Can survivors of adverse childhood experiences live a life without fear, or is it the stuff of comics? And what is the link between fear, hope, and self-esteem?

Heroes, Hope, and Healing - Accepting Your Inner Daredevil helps survivors strengthen their pillars of self-esteem (personal integrity, self-responsibility, living purposefully, living consciously, self-assertiveness, and self-acceptance) to no longer live in a state of anxiety and fear, but instead live a life of courage and self-acceptance.

The book uses characters throughout the Daredevil comic book series to help survivors understand that living without fear is difficult, but to have the courage to accept your inner Daredevil to heal from childhood trauma is possible.

Accepting Your Inner Daredevil is the first in the Heroes, Hope, and Healing self-help series that uses Marvel Comics characters to understand and overcome feelings of fear, anger, shame, and guilt to improve self-esteem and foster lasting hope for survivors of adverse childhood experiences.
