In - Her Rage: From Pain to Purpose S L Baker

Are you a survivor of childhood sexual abuse? Have you experienced sudden and tragic loss that left you angry and empty inside? Do bad relationships follow you everywhere you go?

As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, victim of sudden and traumatic loss, and expert on bad relationships, Pastor Sabrenah knows all about the impact of trauma and how it shapes behaviors. She transformed herself from a victim to a successful advocate for children and families. However, with all her successes, she still struggled with building trusting relationships. Always attracting the same type of people. Those who required a lot of energy, having the appearance of strength and stability on the outside but severely bruised and hurt on the inside. Toxic relationships were like a magnet she couldn't resist.

If this sounds like you, you're probably asking yourself, "Why do I keep ending up with this or that type of relationship?" For Sabrenah, it's called the rescuer's syndrome. Unknowingly, she found herself in situations with a compulsion to rescue others even at the detriment of denying her own needs. It's like a bad habit that's hard to break. Some might call that an addiction. That's what trauma does. It affects who you are until you open your heart and mind to become someone different.
