In this powerful episode of PURPOSE After DV, I’m putting the widely known Escalation of Violence Scale side-by-side with a tool I personally created: the Victim to Victory Scale, found in my POWER After DV Workbook.
The Escalation of Violence Scale helps us recognize the progressive nature of abuse—how it often starts subtly and grows more dangerous over time. But that’s only one side of the story. My Victim to Victory Scale offers a new, hope-filled perspective. It’s a visual tool to help you recognize where you are on your healing journey and where God is calling you to go next.
In this episode, we will:
- Walk through the stages of the Escalation of Violence Scale
- Introduce and explain each phase of the Victim to Victory Scale
- Reflect on what healing and restoration look like in real life
- Introduce a concept called "Re-Story"
Whether you’re still in survival mode or finally starting to dream again, this episode will give you a language—and a ladder—for moving upward in God’s strength.
Scripture Focus: 📖 “He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.” – Psalm 40:2 (NIV)
