Welcome to Betrayal Trauma Recovery. This is Anne. I have Laura Kelly and Michelle Martin with me today.

They started an organization called She Honors Herself and it's based out of Scotland.

The idea behind creating this program came from Laura and Michelle's current line of work.

Michelle supports high-risk victims of domestic abuse, and Laura facilitates group work supporting survivors of domestic violence and their children.

Throughout their work experience in the organization and within their own personal lives,

it became apparent to them that there is minimal access to support and information

in preventing women from entering into relationships

where their self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-worth is compromised.

Their goal is to provide every woman with tools and information to build resilience and

self-empowerment to work as a prevention method to keep them safe in the first place, but it also

helps women through post-relationship trauma and

building themselves back up again.

All the methods and information in the program are built on the materials that Michelle

used during her one-on-one support to victims.

Michelle and Laura have also used these materials within their own personal lives

when their own self-esteem, self-worth, and confidence was at an all-time low and it has proven to be a success which is really exciting.

So we get to talk about how awesome we think we are today.

Which will be amazing. The feeling of love for themselves has encouraged them and made

them want to share this with other women and help them take part of the program.
