“Session 2, Part 2C” Live Session 11-7-2022

Hello everyone! I pray that you all and your families are very well!! We are continuing today with our “Violence & Abuse” Program, in the “Domestic Violence Seminar” series. As I stated before, this is the second program in the "Journey of Freedom" Program. In this program, there are three sessions, and several parts to each session. The complete outline, for each session will be included at the end of each week’s session. You will see on my website, www.abusedwoman.ning, and Minister Everett James’ website, Eastern Missouri Bible College, the “Violence & Abuse” weekly summaries by date first before the video is posted. The video will be posted after we record our live sessions on Monday evenings – the link to that session’s video will be attached to the title of the session. Therefore, as the summaries are released each week, you will have the opportunity to study the materials before the video is posted.

Zoom information: Day & Time: Mondays 5:30p (CST) – 6:30P (EST)

Domestic Violence Seminar, “Violence & Abuse,” Session 2 – Part C (10-5-2020/11-7-2022) (**THERE WAS NO VIDEO THIS WEEK IN 2020. CLICK HERE FOR 11-7-2022 VIDEO**): In Session 2, “Explore how to STOP the Cycle of Abuse” & “Establish a Personal Bill of Right” of the “Violence & Abuse” Program, Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks, discusses the following topics:

*The Three “G’s” for Stopping the Cycle of Abuse – Part 2C

For change to come, change must take place. The victim of abuse must remove themselves from the situation in order for help to be received.

• Get help now! Tell someone in authority that the abuse is taking place; never let the abuse continue.

• Get to a safe place!

• Get counseling to help with the healing process.

*Establish Your Personal Bill of Rights – Part 2C

Now, you will read the Personal Bill of Rights pledge on the next page of the teaching (PDF below); it is pertinent for any situation in your life. It is important to learn your rights as a human being, then don’t allow others to treat you in any way that jeopardizes your rights. The best way to handle any kind of abuse is to remove yourself from the situation and the person who is speaking or acting in a way that demeans who you are.

HOMEWORK: Use the Bill of Rights to establish your own Personal Bill of Rights! Where it states “You” change it to “I” to make it personal; this is your declaration of what you will and will not tolerate!!

Domestic violence is not just a secular issue, there are many Christian wives, and husbands, who are also being tormented by an abusive husband, or wife. These series of seminars are designed to help domestic violence victims obtain wholeness from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. This training will also prepare Christian ministers, counselors, and other Christian workers to provide healing to the domestic violence victim.
