Shattering the Myths; Shining the
Light:
How to Spot Domestic Abuse before It Spirals Out of
Control
The most dangerous aspect of family violence is the set of myths
surrounding it. This program shatters myths that haunt us in the home and taunt
us in our communities, helping victims and assisting their advocates to better
protect those in danger. Through real-life stories, Dr. King, sheds light on the
psychosocial mechanisms that foster abuse beyond control and shows how to spot a
dangerous relationship before it is too late.
Bridging psychology and domestic abuse
advocacy, Dr. King provides a conceptualization of battering as a
psychosocial addiction to control. She gives a clear profile of the
primary characteristics symptomatic of intimate partner violence,
the signs and signals of battering and victimization, the
relationship between spousal abuse, child abuse and intimate partner
violence during pregnancy, and addresses the inner experience of
living in a battering relationship. This program enhances
the professional's ability to serve as a gatekeeper for domestic
abuse in his/her community.

Being in the Light:
Three Pillars to Healing from Within
Beyond battering, then what? Healing is the focus and result of this
experiential program. This finely tuned therapeutic intervention successfully
blends practices designed to foster self-repair and support the mind and body in
healing pain, stress and emotional suffering.
Dr. King shows how to rebuild from the inside out and rekindle physical and
psychological integrity. Through stress-reduction and self-regulation training,
participants move from self-limiting thoughts to clarity and inner truth; from
physical distress and emotional turmoil to comfort, peace and purposeful,
productive expression. Whether one is a survivor or advocate for survivors, the
three pillars to healing from within have the potential to be life-enhancing
skills practiced for health and well-being far beyond this program.
