However, this mentorship quickly turned into sexual grooming, leading to years of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.

In this breakthrough guide, Dr. Ramona interweaves her personal story with a proven, step-by-step process to healing from the trauma of domestic abuse. It is hard to imagine someone with a Doctorate in Psychology, a flourishing counseling practice, experience in both TV and radio, to have hidden in a different state with her children, worn sunglasses on a rainy day to hide her blackeye, and often used turtlenecks to cover choke marks. Most people would not believe this could be the same person. Dr. Ramona is that person.

Kristopher was the type of man any woman hoped to fall in love with. Intelligent, charming, and worldly—everyone loved him.

Repeatedly, I ignored the voice in my head that told me to walk away now. Tangled in the web he systematically spun, I questioned everything I thought and did; I no longer knew who I was or what I was capable of.
