From Surviving To Thriving
THE VICTIM IS NEVER RESPONSIBLE. The way the victim dresses, behaves, etc., can never give someone permission to abuse them.
Suffering abuse is difficult. We desire that you would not just survive but genuinely live, cross over to the other side. Do not remain stuck in a victim status, but become victorious over what you have suffered.
The abuser will try to fit his/her victim into a box that he/she can control. This can get to the point where the victim no longer knows for themself what they want to eat, how they want to dress, or what they want to feel ....
The Christian environment is by no means free from abuse. We want to help you understand what is going on, differentiate between what is normal and what is not, and what you should and should not experience.

Your life has been affected, damaged, turned upside down by physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual…abuse.
You may not be sure of what has happened to you.
Every morning, you feel you will not make it through the day.
Do you simply want to understand what is going on in your life?
You live with someone who has been abused, and you do not understand what is going on in your own life.
Maybe you have committed some abuse yourself. When you commit such acts, it means you are suffering inside. Perhaps yourself you have been the victim of something that traumatized you and changed your behavior.

We want to help you avoid being stuck in situations
where you are a victim.
You must realize you have been the victim of something you were not complicit in. You are the victim of something THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.
It is difficult because, most of the time, the victim feels guilty. We want to convey an essential message: THE VICTIM IS NEVER TO BLAME. How they dress, behave, etc., never gives someone permission to abuse them.
You are not responsible; the good news is that you can always be helped.
Sometimes, the abuser can be someone in your family, someone you know, someone you respect. And yet it happened. And yet you were the victim.You might think, "Nobody will believe me!" But we are here to tell you: “Yes, someone will believe you! Yes, you can be helped!”
You need to understand that being a victim is not something God wants you to have in your life. You can have a truly fulfilling and victorious life.
It is a hard fight. It is a battle that takes time, but it is a battle in which you can be victorious.

Childhood abuse
They are so difficult and complicated because they are so destructive inside, but we will see how to get out of them.
No one has the right to mistreat children, to impose on them things from the adult world, and on top of that, to make them believe they are responsible for it.
If left untreated and undealt with, this will shatter their lives for years to come.
We want to stop this vicious cycle and this destruction.
Abuse can be physical. Abuse can be emotional. A child can be neglected. Abuse can be sexual. If no help is given, their lives will be affected for many years to come because childhood abuse creates attachment disorders.

Spiritual Abuse - Emotional Abuse
Spiritual abuse: complicated to manage or even recognize! The Christian milieu is by no means free from abuse.
Spiritual abuse is challenging to define because it is subtle, devious, and insidious. We do not necessarily see it.
Since Jesus came to earth, we no longer need a mediator, a priest who stands between the Father and us. Jesus is the bridge between us and the Father within us. He washed away our sins, and we now have direct access to God's throne.
The spiritual manipulator (man, woman, or community) becomes an abuser when they interfere with the choice of spouse, finances, etc, in other words, when they spill over into our private lives. This is absolutely not the role of a spiritual leader or a spiritual community.
Emotional abuse: when someone forces us, coerces us emotionally, when someone wants to change and affect our inner being at the deepest level of our emotions.
It can be a husband controlling his wife or a wife controlling her husband. It can be between a boss and an employee, between two colleagues, or in a friendship.
On an emotional level, the abuser will try to make their victim fit into a box that they can control and which will, moreover, make them look better. This can get to the point where the victim no longer knows for themself what they want to eat, how they want to dress, or what they want to feel...
Physical Abuse
Physical violence, deprivation, rape, or sexual abuse... there are many different forms of physical abuse.
If the physical abuse is unexpected, the trauma will be even more violent because the brain is not prepared to react.
It is a very complex, harrowing subject. We do not pretend to provide all the solutions in a module like this.
Your situation is unique. The help you need must also be tailor-made to who you are and your situation.
We intend to give you the keys, to help you put words to what ails you, and to enable you to start the process of healing, of putting in place a new way of living so that you can turn the page. We give you as much information as possible so that you can understand what is going on inside the abused person and how to heal.
The Spouse
We are not forgetting you!
How do you live your life as a couple when one or both of you has been abused? How do you rebuild your life?
We want to give you some really concrete, practical help.
You have suffered the collateral effects of your partner's abuse. You, too, have questions and need to be equipped. There are things you need to know. That is why we also want to discuss this and give you some answers.

The Victim is NEVER Responsible!
We want to say it again and again!
Abuse is forcing behavior, forcing action, forcing words, forcing ..., forcing something on someone else. No one ever has the right to impose these things on another person.
That is why we can say without batting an eyelid that the victim is never responsible! Once again, it does not matter what he/she was wearing. Nobody has the right to force you to do something you do not want or did not choose to do. Nobody has the right to force themselves on you.
You are not responsible; the good news is that you can always be helped.
Often, there is a feeling of despair, a feeling of incomprehension, a feeling of not being able to share what you have experienced with anyone because there is shame associated with the abuse you have suffered. It is terrible. You have been abused, and you are ashamed of it. You hide and think, "I can't be helped. No one will understand or believe me when I tell what happened to me".
Yes, you can be helped. Yes, someone will believe you. Yes, you may have a voice that will be heard, and you will not stay in this victim position forever!

Can I communicate with Eric and Rachel?
We recommend finishing all the audio files or eBooks, as they already answer many common questions. We also answer questions that have been asked in our news emails. Due to the large number of emails we receive, we cannot guarantee an individual response. The purchase of a product does not give access to a consultation with Eric or Rachel.
