The freedom programme

[hellenbackagen]

Hi
Just had a look at this for a friend but noticed to do the online course it's £12.

Is it worth it? What does it teach exactly? Anyone done this programme?

Thanks

It's FANTASTIC. Fantastically wonderful and life-changing.

Better to go along to the course if you can, which is free to attend. But £12 is a pittance for pure gold if you do it online and can afford it. Not as powerful as going along to the group though.

If you've been looking at the site it tells you what the course does. It's a 12-week rolling course that looks in detail at how abusers do their abusing.

It is based on Pat Craven's book 'Living with the Dominator' - sample chapter here.

I’ve done it in a group session. It’s fantastic. It was so good to meet other women who’d had similar experiences. I carry a lot of guilt that I ‘allowed’ this to happen and wondered if there was something wrong with me. To meet intelligent, interesting, funny, caring and lovely women who were survivors of domestic abuse helped me understand it wasn’t my fault and it can happen to anyone.

If I could make a group I’d definitely pay £12 to do the online course though.

Freedom is amazing. Really worth it. It is really helpful to take a structured look at abusers' behaviour and have a name for it. I had really underestimated the extent of my ex's behaviour because he wasn't physically knocking me about. There is loads of stuff on youtube. I found Freedom a really good place to start. The language they use is different and they don't use the word narcissist.
