Interested to hear from anyone who's done it. Considering suggesting it to a teenage relative who's come to live with us in fairly difficult circumstances. She's unfortunately grown up watching her Mum suffer in abusive relationships with both her dad and stepdad, and has already had two spectacularly awful boyfriends, one who raped her, and then one who was extremely controlling and is now in prison for violent offences.
She is a lovely, bright young woman and is very interested in psychology so is quite open to thinking about abuser profiles, and also her own psychological makeup and why she makes certain choices. I've already given her 'Why Does he Do That?' which she's finding really interesting, but I wonder if she'd benefit from doing The Freedom Programme to hopefully try to recognise patterns and red flags to look out for. I'm keen not to come across as 'do this course because you're shit at choosing boyfriends', so I'm interested to hear from anyone who's done it what the overall tone was, and whether they found it beneficial.
