Review for Women Empowered Against Violence, Inc., Washington, DC, USA
WEAVE saved my life. I had been so emotionally (and at times physically) abused for so many years, and kept enclosed in the bubble with which my husband circumscribed my life, for the longest time I didn't even realize that this was not normal. Finally I woke up one night when he threatened to kill me, and the very next day I called WEAVE. My counselor worked magic with my consciousness and my energy every time I visited her. Whenever I got caught up in detrimental head trips, she refocused my attention within my body, the feelings in my body and energy. She always brought me back to my true self, leaving me calmed and strengthened. By the time I actually managed to leave my marriage, WEAVE had worked miracles in healing and empowering me. It was one of the most positive experiences of my life. I am a far stronger and wiser woman for this experience. WEAVE is so vital to our community, to our sisters. Please support them any way you can.
