JIMMI TORO
ABOUT THE BOOK
In my book HEAL, I use my art & stories to describe my journey through the horrors of extreme childhood abuse and the painful yet magical healing process.
Imagine, if you will, a group of sadist cowards burying a 4-year-old child alive in a coffin that contained a dead adult body with its guts ripped out. All of this was planned out so they could enjoy that child’s horrific, frightening screams, only pulling him out after his fight to escape exhausted him to near death. Then, when he came too, imagine the memories etched on his DNA of their evil laughing faces as he struggled to recover from such torture.
I lived these and hundreds of similar horrors twice. First, as a child at the hands of ritualistic sexual deviants, and decades later, the horror resurfaced in an avalanche of extreme pain, awful memories, and massive hormonal damage to my body.
In my book HEAL, I have created 60 original paintings and sketches that enhance my stories, which explain the realities of childhood trauma, its physical and mental effects, the suppression of memories, and how they resurface. I clear up so much confusion in the trauma therapy community around the healing process and explain the complex realities and the ugly side of recovery while bringing hope to those suffering. It is a tough road, but you absolutely can heal.
Then, I end with 22 stories of trauma, ranging from shockingly awful to trauma involving loneliness, lack of comfort, witnessing others’ extreme abuse, etc. Yet, each of these 22 trauma stories has a victory, resulting in a proper release, complete healing, and the turning of a survivor into a warrior.

people made aware of how to protect their community against the predators who prey on their children
As a business in my community I am a defender of the children who live in our neighborhoods. I’ve partnered with Rescue11 to raise awareness to how these predators target our kids, and what we can do about it. I want to leave my community a better place than what I find it in, and become a voice to the voiceless children who are controlled, threatened and abused.
