With Robyn L. Gobin, Shavonne J. Moore-Lobban co-authored The Black Woman's Guide to Overcoming Domestic Violence. Grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), this compassionate book addresses the unique struggles faced by Black women who have experienced domestic violence. This book offers practical and empowering skills to help understand and heal from trauma, leave harmful situations, and regain a sense of safety and freedom. Readers also learn how to build a safety net, trust themselves—and others—again, and let go of the shame and guilt resulting from the experience. Finally, discover ways to reclaim self-worth, set boundaries in relationships, and make room for self-care in day-to-day life.
For those ready to leave—or those who have already left—an abusive situation, this book can help their healing from the trauma of domestic violence and the discovery of personal freedom in mind, body, and spirit.
