Today is my second Vaniversary! I’m eternally grateful God allowed me to get a van & be a vanlife girlie. Vanquility is a gift who probably needs her own IG page!

Sometimes we think life is over after coercive control or divorce. But really it can just be truly beginning. It’s harder than snot to heal, but the work is so worth it. Maybe your dream isn’t a van - maybe it’s something else - but dare to dream it. You just never know what God might do.

Many of you have asked when we'll be offering the Certified Coercive Control Recovery Therapist training - well that day is arriving!

🖥️ This training is for licensed therapists/counselors (we have one that will be for biblical counselors & coaches at a later date).
🖥️ It will likely consist of two, three-day modules (likely a Thursday, Friday, Saturday for each)
🖥️ It will also include 10 hours of consultation (which will be included in the course fee)

AND - The Journey & The Process is teaming up with Soul Care Associates so we can include robust coercive control perpetrator care in addition to victim/survivor care.

This certification is practical, evidence based, and theoretical. You'll understand the dynamics of coercive control, the impact on the nervous system of the victim/survivor and how it impacts the counseling relationship, the dynamics of perpetrator work, and how to work with victims/survivors and perpetrators.

THIS FIRST ROUND WILL BE A FAITH-BASED TRAINING.

Tabitha Westbrook, LMFT-S, LCMHC-QS, LPC-S and Dr. Greg Wilson, LPC-S will co-teach this certification course.

What role does storytelling play in trauma recovery? And what happens when the trauma occurs inside the Church?

In Monday's episode of Hey Tabi, I sit down with Dr. Ann Maree Goudzwaard—biblical counselor, domestic abuse advocate, and founder of Help[H]er Ministries—to talk about trauma, spiritual abuse, coercive control, and the healing power of telling the truth.

Drawing from her experience interviewing survivors, Dr. Goudzwaard shares why story is not just therapeutic, it’s transformational.

🚨 North Texas Christian Women. Sexual Harm. Questions You’ve Been Too Afraid to Ask. 🚨

What if you didn’t have to wrestle with them alone anymore?

If you’ve read Body & Soul, Healed & Whole — or even if you’ve just started — you know this isn’t light reading.

It’s tender. It’s honest. It names things many Christian women have carried in silence for years.

And now, you’re invited into a space to talk about it.

🌿 FREE In-Person Discussion Group | Body & Soul, Healed & Whole 🌿

🗓 April 4, 2026

This Is For You If…

You’ve experienced sexual abuse, assault, coercion - or maybe you're not even sure what's happened, but you know it's something...
You’ve wrestled with shame in silence
You have questions the Church never answered
You want a trauma-informed, safe place to process

This is not a lecture, or a debate. or a space for minimizing your story. This is a guided, safe conversation led by a licensed trauma therapist - and the author of the book - who understands both the clinical and spiritual layers of sexual harm.

What You’ll Experience

✨ Thoughtful discussion of themes from the book
✨ Space to ask real, honest questions
✨ Trauma-informed, compassionate facilitation
✨ Community with women who get it
✨ A calm, confidential setting

There's no pressure to share, no expectation to have it all figured out. Just room to breathe.

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation, your questions matter, and shame loses power when it’s spoken in safe spaces.

Seats are limited to protect the intimacy of the group.

💛 This Group is completely free, but registration is required. 💛

If your heart is even whispering, “Maybe this is for me…” That’s your invitation.

Some parts of your story feel too dangerous to name. Sometimes we have no idea why we would even talk about our story. Isn't the past in... the past?

In this episode of Hey Tabi, trauma therapists Adam Young and Tabitha Westbrook talk about why survivors turn the blame inward, why telling the truth can feel destabilizing, why real healing feels disruptive at first, and why your story deeply matters to your healing.

If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe it was my fault,” this conversation is for you.
