These fictitious stories reflect the real experiences of pain and suffering of women from all over the world. They tell of the many ways in which women can experience abuse and how their bodies and minds may react.

Survivors begin to face what happened to them and how this changed them. It is an opportunity to learn why they respond in certain ways and what they can do to begin to move forward.

This gives the broader context of Jesus’ ministry and how He came to save and heal us all.

This is a time to explore the “I AM” sayings of Jesus and how they relate to survivors of abuse.

Trauma lives on in our bodies. It is important for survivors to learn skills to calm themselves and change how their bodies react.

Reflection questions throughout the week help survivors think more about the heart of God for his wounded daughters. The skills homework helps them to grow stronger and more confident.
