What does it mean to heal from trauma caused by the people, beliefs, and practices of your faith? Indoctrinated from early childhood to obey, conform, and want what others wanted for her, Tia Levings learned love and acceptance meant being someone other than herself. After years of abuse in a violent marriage and high-control religion, Tia Levings escaped with her children (a story told in her memoir, 'A Well-Trained Wife') and thought the hardest was behind her. But that was just the beginning. With an audacious persistence to reclaim her life, Tia set off on a 15-year path to psychological peace. The result is an emotionally regulated, actualised, self-aware woman who is able to tell her harrowing story without retraumatising herself - a woman who can reach back to help others claim what's theirs.
