Do You Know How to Overcome the Pain of Abuse?

Divorced after 28 years of marriage Dawn Damon lost everything, her job, friends, identity, and social status.

It was painful. She felt helpless, but not hopeless.

Dawn has been an influencer, pastor, global communicator, podcaster, coach, and best-selling author for over 20 years. She is the founder and CEO of the Brave Hearted Woman, a transformational coaching and personal growth development enterprise designed to awaken and cultivate the vision of women dreamers, calling them to braven-up and live their best lives. 

When the woman abused was you

Dawn has always been a hope believer and is now a Brave Heart Mentor. Dawn is the creator and host of The Brave Hearted Woman, a weekly podcast that encourages women to unleash their full potential to the world by discovering their inner fortitude to make needed life transformations - to live a fulfilling life without regret.

She has authored five award-winning books including When a Woman You Love Was Abused and When the Woman Abused was Me.

Dawn became an ordained minister with a special emphasis on trauma support and biblical counseling. She developed and worked as Director of Support and Healing Groups in a mega church, serving hundreds of women overcoming abuse and trauma.

In her interview, Dawn explains what thought toxins are and how we can change our mindset from victim to victor and live a life with hope that never fades.


 

  You have carried scars long enough. It is time to shed the layers of pain that hold you captive and find freedom and healing. In When the Woman Abused Was You, author, pastor, and survivor Dawn Scott Damon openly shares her own abuse experience and serves as a guide to help you make your way through the arduous healing journey.

With raw and honest transparency, Dawn helps you take the necessary steps that will lead you to your own powerful breakthrough and personal healing encounter.

Experience new freedom you never thought possible. The journey may be difficult—even exhausting—but you’ll find reward and fulfillment as you transform into a confident, fulfilled, and overcoming woman.


Dawn Scott Damon


The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that 80 percent of childhood abuse victims later suffer from at least one abuse-induced psychological disorder. It’s proven that the effects of childhood abuse follow women into adulthood. Yet few men are prepared to deal with those effects, even when their own wife is the one who is suffering. And their wife’s suffering becomes their own suffering as their needs aren’t being met by a wife who is powerless to control her inner turmoil.

Offering hope for a healthy marriage relationship, When a Woman You Love Was Abused answers the questions men have and offers the advice they need to help their wives finally find peace.

Man's Guide

Be free from toxic mindsets, destructive patterns of behavior, and lies that keep you bound.

The truth behind seven little words changed Dawn Scott Damon's life when she heard a man from a small country church sing "I am who He says I am!" Her life was transformed as she began to believe what God's Word says about who she is in Christ, and she started her journey out of betrayal, abandonment, and deception.

She shares compelling truths in a sixty-day interactive Bible study that identifies and confronts eight cords that keep many believers bound. These practical and powerful biblical tools are designed to give you a new mindset, a fresh beginning, and a clear direction for a positive future.

Take the Freedom Challenge and become an active participant in your own emotional and spiritual transformation. 

Thought-provoking questions, journaling space, confessions, and affirmations are included to help guide you toward freedom.
