The Counter Culture Mom Show with Tina Griffin

Charlene Quint survived 21 years of an abusive and toxic marriage. Today she is a family law attorney and the author of the award-winning book, Overcoming the Narcissist, Sociopath, Psychopath, and Other Domestic Abusers: The Comprehensive Handbook to Recognize, Remove and Recover From Abuse. Charlene shares critical advice about the healing process that comes in the wake of escaping an abusive situation. 100 percent of women in abusive relationships, she says, suffer from PTSD, and the healing cannot begin until they are in a safe place and free from the abuse. Importantly, women must address the lies that they have been taught to believe and replace those lies with truth. Charlene also shares how God helped her find peace, wholeness, and restoration after leaving her abusive marriage, and how others can do the same!

Abusers know exactly how to manipulate and target their victims’ biggest weaknesses. They repeatedly erode your identity until there’s nothing left and until you’re too tired to fight back. But there is hope! Karen DeArmond Gardner, a pastoral trauma coach and author, discusses the scary reality of domestic abuse in the home, when a husband trashes his marriage and beats his wife down, physically or emotionally, to get his way. Karen recounts her personal, decades-long struggle surviving domestic abuse, how she escaped, and what she learned. She advises how to assess your situation and what kind of potential solutions might just make things worse. Don’t be afraid to get help - but make sure you’re getting it from the right people.


TAKEAWAYS


Couples counseling can be very dangerous for a woman who is in an abusive marriage


Marital counseling, in domestic abuse cases, doesn’t work because the issue isn’t marital; it’s abuse


Women are taught to be submissive to their husbands, which grooms them to turn the other cheek too often


Some abusers can change their behavior, but it is very rare, and abusers erode freedoms and identity bit by bit

How many Christian marriages today are steeped in the pain of secret abuse? Karen DeArmond Gardner is a survivor of domestic abuse that lasted over 30 years. She knows firsthand what women need to experience freedom from the lies of abuse. She is a pastoral trauma coach and advocate who provides crisis support for women seeking to break free from abusive relationships. Karen delivers insight and perspective on how spousal abuse can often lurk in the shadows, and how women often blame themselves for something that is not their fault. What does abuse look like? Does God really forbid Christians from getting divorced? Karen breaks down the well-meaning but sometimes damaging pieces of advice women often receive in the church about marriage - and how to think about it with a fresh perspective.


TAKEAWAYS


The Scripture does not forbid spouses from leaving an abusive marriage


Women cannot “influence” abusive spouses out of their behavior


Abusers often make their spouses feel like they’re the problem, when nothing could be further from the truth


Abused victims often begin to feel responsible for their spouse’s behavior

God created the human body to intuitively heal itself, but in today’s modern, toxin-ridden environment, we’re constantly fighting against disease caused by inflammation. Dr. Alphonzo Monzo, a Biblical naturopathic doctor, discusses exactly what happens when toxins remain too long in the human body, describing the many stages of detox. He also explains the differences in how naturopaths treat patients versus allopaths. Where the medical world tries to suppress what it sees as separate problems, naturopathics work to identify the root cause that’s causing interconnected symptoms. Alphonzo also highlights the importance of supplementing a daily diet with the best non-synthetic, whole food products available.


TAKEAWAYS


Stop putting toxins into your body by analyzing all products you use and food you consume and get your environment as clean as possible


Medical doctors view disease as something that must be suppressed, causing more damaged cell, which can lead to cancer in the future


Naturopathic doctors view disease as a symptom of a root problem that can be treated

How can you detox your body properly? Dr. Alphonzo Monzo is an expert on the subject. He is a naturopathic doctor who views the separate parts of the body as one interconnected whole. With decades of experience, he’s walked many of his patients through the ups and downs of the detox process, helping them bring their body back into a state of healing and restoration. Alphonzo describes the human body as an interconnected network of mental, physical, and spiritual components. With a strong emphasis on approaching the health process through the lens of the Bible, he urges healthy, common-sense detoxing.
