"Journey of Freedom: Pursuing Freedom From The Bondage of Traumatic Experiences" 

Hello, I am glad you decided to take the necessary steps, to get set completely free, from the bondage of domestic violence and about! Praise God you made it this far, and for Him taking you all the way!!

I am including instructions on how to complete the Program, but if you have any questions as you are going through the Program, let me know. You can reach me directly, via email: drdehooks@abusedwoman.org.

This Program is designed for independent study, one-on-one study, or group study. Therefore, if you are taking this Program as an independent study, disregard the information that says anything like, I will post the sessions every week; that part is only for one-on-one and group studies with me – you have the COMPLETE Program, so I will not post anything else. 

You will proceed through each part of the Program sections, one at a time; not going on to the next section, until you have completed the first one; just follow the outline in each part of the Program. 

To obtain the book for each section, click the link in that section for the book, or click the topic link in the outline, at the beginning, to open the book. For example, to obtain the book for “The Importance of Forgiveness Recovery Program,” click that topic’s link in the outline, and the book will open; if you open it from the outline, there is no need to click the link in the section itself.

Abused Woman Ministries, Inc. is dedicated to helping women, their children, and men who have been abused! We do this by providing them with the tools they need to recover, from the bondage of domestic violence, and abuse. However, we know that domestic violence/abuse is not the only traumatic event, that can keep a person from having a healthy relationship! Therefore, we will also focus on recovering from the following traumatic experiences, in the "Journey of Freedom: Pursuing Freedom From The Bondage of Traumatic Experiences:" sexual assault, rejection, abandonment, neglect, loneliness... (and whatever other traumatic experience God gives me to include).

“The AWM Counseling Recovery Program's Importance of Forgiveness Recovery Program" is the first course to your "Journey of Freedom Program!" I am dedicated to walking with you (I cannot do it for you - I am an instrument that God is using to help you recover - as He gives me your tools of recovery, I give them to you, then you must decide to take this journey), so are you dedicated to take the journey? If so, let me know by responding to me by email, at drdehooks@abusedwoman.org! The journey may not be easy, but we are in this together, and we will hold each other up; no person left behind!! If you have any problem, let know by email!! We got you!! Most importantly, God got you in the palm of His hand, and nothing and nobody, will be able to pluck you out!! God will NEVER leave you nor forsake you!! Trust Him!! 

The “Journey of Freedom Program,” is part of Abused Woman Ministries, Inc., "Abused Woman Recovery Program" (AWRP); an explanation of the AWRP is attached at the beginning of the treaching below. Now let's do this!! We are moving forward; not backward!! We are gaining our momentum; God is catapulting us into our destiny!! Welcome to your "Journey of Freedom!" Let the Recovery begin!
