Author Interview with Joanna V. Hunter of But He’ll Change
We are so thrilled to be able to interview Joanna Hunter! I had quietly put her writing up there on a pedestal as I wrote my book, thinking if only I could be halfway as good as Joanna, I would be happy. I later found we were in the same groups on LinkedIn and an online forum.
Her book is a must for anyone who is in an abusive relationship. It provides help and advice. She was also on The Kathleen Show.
A brief synopsis of the book, But He’ll Change. But He’ll Change; End the Thinking That Keeps You in an Abusive Relationship is a
self-help book published by Hazelden in 2010. It received a Nautilus Book Award.
In this compassionate book, Joanna V. Hunter offers women who are coping with physical or emotional abuse the information and guidance that she needed when she was in an abusive relationship. Using expert advice complemented by her story and the stories of other women who have survived and turned away from domestic violence, Hunter helps you face, head on, the messages you’ve internalized that hold you in an abusive relationship. You will learn to
Identify the lies you’ve accepted and counter them with healthy thinking. Give yourself permission to stop taking the blame for your partner’s behavior. Identify your partner’s power and control plays so they no longer entrap you. Stick up for your own needs and plan for your (and your children’s) safety.
With But He’ll Change you will learn new messages designed to help you build strength and hope. You will develop the tools to operate not as a victim, but as a survivor who understands the power you hold to change your life. “Healing means you’ve taken back your power,” writes Hunter. “My hope is that this book will help you shed labels, transcend the past and walk into a better life–the one you’ve always hoped for.”
