Welcome to Betrayal Trauma Recovery. This is Anne. I have an amazing author on the

podcast today, Shannon Thomas. She wrote Heeling from Hidden Abuse. Before I get to

her, we've made a lot of amazing changes to our website lately,

BTR.org. Our Betrayal Trauma Recovery Group which has over 20 sessions a week

I think it's over 90 sessions per month depending on how many days a month

there are is the least expensive way to get immediate help you can go to our

website you can join a session you don't have to wait for an appointment, you don't

have to make an appointment.

Our coaches are amazing.

They understand the abuse and they can help you set boundaries for your safety.

And they can also help you explore if it really is abuse. If you're like, I don't know, I know something's wrong, but I don't know what it is. They can help you with that.

Some women don't feel super comfortable in a group setting, so we also have individual sessions available. So please go to our website

BTR.org and check out the daily support group schedule. You do that by clicking on services and

then pick online daily support group.

She is the international best-selling author of Heeling from Hidden Abuse,

a Journey through the stages of recovery from psychological abuse, and exposing
