Survivors of domestic abuse often struggle with self-doubt, emotional wounds, and the overwhelming question: "Where do I go from here?" In her new book, Healing From Within: A Domestic Abuse Survivor’s Guide to Reclaiming Your Confidence and Peace, author Samantha Avril-Andreassen provides a 12-month structured healing program to help survivors navigate their recovery, regain their self-worth, and step into a future of strength and stability.


Book cover titled "Healing From Within" by Samantha Avril-Andreassen, with abstract wave design in subtle greens and browns. Calm mood.

“There is no recovery without acceptance, forgiveness, and putting in the work. Healing requires listening to the inner positive voice, setting boundaries that nourish the soul, and laying burdens down by doing the work,” says Avril-Andreassen.

A step-by-step guide to emotional and mental healing


Unlike other self-help books, Healing From Within provides a clear, structured approach using the MMPE framework—a unique healing model designed to help survivors move forward with confidence and purpose.


  • Move – Engage in physical healing and reconnect with the body.

  • Meditate – Develop emotional awareness and cultivate inner peace.

  • Plan – Set clear intentions and boundaries for a new beginning.

  • Execute – Take actionable steps toward healing and self-empowerment.


Each month includes reflection worksheets, journaling prompts, self-care exercises, and guided meditations, offering survivors a practical roadmap to healing.


A crucial part of a larger healing journey


Healing From Within is part of a powerful three-book series that addresses the full cycle of abuse recovery and empowerment:


  • Book 1: Silent Screams, Loud Strength – A raw, eye-opening look into the realities of domestic abuse, helping survivors recognize toxic patterns and take the first step toward breaking free.

  • Book 2: Healing From Within (This Book) – A structured program to help survivors process trauma, rebuild self-worth, and reclaim emotional balance.

  • Book 3: The Little Voice That Roared – A children’s book that empowers young survivors to recognize abuse and speak up, ensuring that no child suffers in silence.

Essential for survivors, counsellors, and advocacy groups


This book is a vital resource for:


  • Domestic abuse survivors looking for guidance and structure on their healing journey.

  • Therapists, counsellors, and mental health professionals seeking a structured healing model to support clients.

  • Social services, advocacy organizations, and charities working to provide tangible recovery tools to abuse survivors.

  • Parents and caregivers looking to break generational cycles of trauma and build healthier relationships.

A call to action: It’s time to prioritize healing


Survivors deserve more than just survival—they deserve to thrive. Healing From Within is not just a book; it’s a lifeline for those ready to reclaim their peace, confidence, and power.


The book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and major online retailers.
