Own My Life Course - DV

After escaping a DV relationship in Nov 2024 I have finally come to the top of a waiting list for some support. Doing own my life course (was hoping to do freedom course first but that now looks like it will be sept). Has anyone done this? Any views on it? It’s going to be online which is a bit disappointing but I feel a little encouraged to finally be offered something.

While you're waiting for people to post about their experiences of the course...

I've looked at the description here
https://www.ownmylifecourse.org/

it looks like a really comprehensive 12 week course based on a lot of the psychological science of abuse. I think there is some group work as well. You get a journal and a lot of online resources.

although it's online, looks like there's group work, so I'm not sure if that's after the main 12 weeks. It's quite good being self paced imo, as people learn at different paces.

if you do this course and Freedom, you'll be well-equipped both in terms of being able to reconcile the past trauma you're experiencing and set yourself up to identify the behaviours that can lead to DV and avoid those types of relationships.

i hope it really helps you heal and grow stronger by the day.

fyi Although I haven't done this course I've done Mental Health First Aider training for the charity I volunteer for.
