Welcome to Betrayal Trauma Recovery. This is Anne. We have a domestic abuse survivor sharing her story today.

Before we get to that, many of you have gone to Amazon and purchased my new book, Trauma, Mama, Husband Drama.

It takes women through every single scenario that I could think of when dealing with this type of abuse where you have emotional abuse

psychological abuse and sexual coercion. The sexual coercion piece is

the pornography piece. You are having sex with someone who is not allowed you to give your full

consent because they haven't given you all the information that you need. You

think you're in a relationship with someone who is faithful to you and they're not and so you're not able to give

your consent so that is the sexual coercion piece that is explained as well at

the back of the book there are a lot of infographics that are super helpful.

So if you're trying to teach like clergy or therapists or other people about this type of abuse,

and it's just not going well, and they're not going to read that big

why does he do that by Lundy Bancroft or they're not willing to read the

verbally abusive relationship which are two books that they should

definitely have everybody read in high school it should be required

reading if you have not read either of those two books please make sure that you read

those like a-s-a-sap they're really important but most of the time if you go to clergy

and you hand them a big giant book they they're going to be like, I'm not going to read this, but trauma-mama husband drama is a picture book for adults. It's an extremely quick read, and the infographics at the back are visual so they explain really complex

concepts very simply in a very quick way. The book also is super helpful for women

who you find out they're going through it they need support right away and

that book will validate them and help them know what steps to take.

Of course the checklist which has been around forever you can get that at BTR

dot org backslash checklist is also an excellent way to go.
