This episode is one of the most powerful, raw, and redemptive stories we’ve ever shared on Girls Who Recover. My guest, Keri Hamilton, is a certified life coach specializing in PTSD, trauma, and narcissistic abuse — and the author of Sorry Satan, This Soul Is for the Savior. Her story is a living testament to faith, resilience, and recovery after domestic violence.

In this conversation, Keri opens up about:

  • Surviving years of childhood abuse and the unhealed trauma that shaped her adult relationships.
  • Falling into the hands of a narcissistic abuser and the devastating cycle of love-bombing, control, and trauma bonding.
  • The terrifying moment she almost ended her life — and the divine light that intervened.
  • How she found faith, spiritual awakening, and self-love on her path to freedom.
  • Why healing is both a spiritual and neurological process, requiring deep work on the nervous system, mind, and heart.
  • What real love is (and isn’t), and how to recognize manipulation disguised as affection.
  • How women can reclaim their power, rebuild their foundation on God and self-trust, and create lives they truly love.

This episode was recorded for Domestic Violence Awareness Month and we’re sharing stories and experiences of brave women who have faced and overcome domestic abuse.

Keri’s story reminds us that healing begins when we choose ourselves and that even in the darkest moments, the light can still find us.

If you or someone you love is experiencing domestic violence, please reach out for help.
