Domestic Violence

There is hope for a complete healing from domestic violence.

After a childhood and thirty-year marriage of battering, abuse, and rape,
I am completely a happy, healthy, and whole woman. I speak, write, and counsel people who need the living skills plus provide coaching to heal the inner origin of the problem. When we are no longer needy for others, the negative bond can break as we grow spiritually with loving tools for living a rational, positive, self-governing life.

With over 30 years in recovery, I have the experience, strength, and hope to help others do the same. It takes someone who has walked the path and emerged victorious to truly be effective in the treatment of those still suffering. Through individual help or in groups, the strength comes from my inner compassion of also having been through those experiences and now victorious. The new connection and relating becomes a strong part of the healing that is needed.

The dynamics of Domestic Violence is not understood in our society. Marilyn uses her experience and research to bring a deeper more realistic dimension to this issue. The gift that families pass down for generations is through continuing with the same victim mentality and behavior that reinforces the cycle. The bonding is familiar from past abuse and traumas each has endured. The underlying cause of this complex problem is addressed from several perspectives. She explains the passive aggressive game of two immature people negatively bonded to each other for survival.

Marilyn explains that domestic violence is chronic, progressive, and can lead to death by one of the partners; it is an addiction. She identifies many of the traits of those in domestic violence. Children in these families act out in various roles that keep the focus off the real problems of the parents by diverting attention onto them. Overcoming the fears, resentments, and revenge of the victim cycle is possible. An inner changing into responding with self-love for yourself and others changes the energy into peace and harmony. She concludes with a visualization that integrates the emotional ages of the inner person into adult wholeness.

Personal strength comes from self-compassion and supported by those who have been victorious. The new connection to a love-based life is the transformation needed for healing. With an open heart, the individual becomes responsible for their wellbeing and matures. It takes someone who has walked the path and emerged victorious to truly be effective in the treatment of those still suffering. With over twenty-eight years in recovery, Marilyn has the experience, strength, and hope to help others do the same.

Empowerment through Spirituality

Marilyn shares the tools for moving from the victim into the victor in your life. Her faith-based approach shows that to move out of fear into the higher energy of love resolves the inner emptiness, loneliness, and lack of self-esteem. What do you have to do to quit giving away your power? You can transform your motivation through a model she describes in the video. It is called a psychic change which means you learn to love yourself.

Marilyn explains how to address what is and truth not your fantasy. Her tools for resolving resentments, fear, and identifying behavior that are not working for you bring real solutions to problems. She guides participants in the audience through resentments and fear into a new revelation that it is a lesson to move beyond. Explaining that feelings can change is a new idea to many. It is an energy that can pass through and out of your body, so happy feelings now have room to manifest.

Coming from love with action is powerful. Eliminating the negative thoughts, words, and deeds and converting them into positive brings the confidence and self-esteem you desire. When you stop reacting from fear and respond in love to all people, places and things you have kept you power and autonomy. The clouds lift so you have a clear picture of what you are sending out and how it is returning. You are empowered.
