The SHIELD™ Programme
SHIELD™ isn’t just a name—it’s the foundation of our four-phase recovery programme:
• Safety: Building a sense of security within yourself to enable healing.
• Healing: Addressing trauma and rebuilding emotional well-being.
• Independence: Reclaiming autonomy and self-reliance.
• Empowerment: Rediscovering your strength and potential.
• Love: Cultivating self-love and healthy relationships.
• Dignity: Restoring your sense of self-worth and respect.
This comprehensive programme supports women in their recovery journey, combining evidence-based practices with trauma-informed care to address the impact of domestic abuse on both the subconscious mind and the nervous system.
Understanding the Impact of Domestic Abuse
Abuse leaves lasting effects on the mind and body:
• The Subconscious Mind: Negative beliefs like fear, shame and worthlessness become deeply ingrained. Survival mechanisms such as hypervigilance or avoidance, once protective, can persist long after the abuse ends.
• The Nervous System: Chronic stress triggers the “fight, flight, or freeze” response, leading to symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, or physical health issues.Healing requires addressing these deep-rooted effects, which is where SHIELD™ shines.
How SHIELD™ Works
The SHIELD™ Programme offers a safe, accessible, and supportive environment where women can heal at their own pace.
Delivered through the Women of Wisdom and Courage® app, the programme includes pre-recorded, expert-led sessions that guide women through each phase of recovery.
Here’s what makes SHIELD™ special:
• Immediate Support: No waiting lists—help is available right when you need it.
• Flexible and Accessible: Work from the comfort and safety of your home, any time of day or night.
• Affordable: Healing shouldn’t break the bank. SHIELD™ is designed to be cost-effective and inclusive.

Testimonials
I listened to the hypnotherapy session for anxiety and my mind hasn't felt so clear in years. The hypnosis videos were so good and useful, which I had never done before, which led me to seek more therapy which helped even further. Without SHIELD™ I never would have done so I can't thank this programme enough.
Elizabeth
My head has actually started to feel the clearest it's been in a while and I've only just started!
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting this together.
Rachel
It made it easier to connect my body, mind and soul, true self and inner child. Even during challenging times. I am learning to take control of my thoughts and I am so happy that now I am able to recognise red flags and set boundaries with those who do not respect me or drain my energy.
