It's 5 years today that we had our Providential ceremony and 10 years tomorrow we had our first DDay.
Only God could have made today a day to celebrate.
There are many going through betrayal that have no hope. Keep your hope.
It takes both to reconcile and make it work.

Join keynote speaker Lyschel Burket as she shares a heartfelt invitation to the Princess Warrior Retreat, happening this September in Maryland, hosted by Table Ministries and Michelle Weaver.
This year’s theme — “Diamonds: Pressure to Beauty” — speaks directly to the courageous women healing from betrayal trauma. Lyschel unpacks the word forge — how God uses fire and pressure not to break us, but to shape us into something beautifully strong.
✨ If you’re weary, wondering if hope is still possible, or unsure about the next step in your healing journey, this retreat is for you. Come sit in community, truth, and realistic hope. You are not alone — and you don’t have to walk this road by yourself.

Are you ready to take a powerful step forward in your healing journey?

💖 "I am grateful and blessed to have heard about and joined this wonderful and healing retreat. It has been a space for me to feel free without any constraints on sharing my story to other women, crying or voicing out my pain in any way I wanted and not feel judged or shamed at all, but rather receive the reactions that I consider healing, receive compassion and love, kindness and validation, and that other women share exactly the same pain as me. An opportunity like this is a rare jewel/pearl that I needed to grab right away and not let go. It’s a blessing such a retreat exists to any woman who has been/still is wounded by this devastating pain of sexual betrayal." 💖

This retreat is more than an event—it's a sacred space for restoration, connection, and empowerment.

Hi friends, I’m Joanna Raabsmith, and I’m honored to be speaking at this year’s Princess Warrior Retreat, happening September 26–28 at the beautiful Sandy Cove Resort in Northeast Maryland.
This retreat is designed for women healing from relational betrayal—and I want you to know, you are not alone. I vividly remember the confusion and grief after betrayal shattered my life. But through God’s tender love, counseling, and sacred healing work, I found my identity again.
That’s why this retreat matters so much. There’s something sacred about gathering with women who truly understand your pain, who embrace your story, and who walk the journey of healing with you.
Retreat highlights include:
🌸 Powerful worship sessions
🌸 Honest, real teaching from women who have walked the road
🌸 Safe and supportive community time
🌸 Quiet reflection moments
🌸 Beautiful surroundings to help you breathe again
Come as you are—bring your stories, tears, questions, and fragile hope. This year’s theme is “Diamonds”—a reminder that God meets us in the pressure, pain, and breaking. He uses it to uncover something strong, beautiful, and unshakable.
We’ll explore:
✨ Reclaiming your identity and voice—not despite trauma, but through it
✨ Grounding yourself in Christ’s unchanging truth
✨ Rediscovering the woman you were always meant to be
✨ Embracing your radiance and strength—stronger than diamonds
There’s a seat at the table for you. Join us and begin your journey toward rest, restoration, and renewal.

We often get asked: How accurate are polygraph tests in recovery settings? In this video, we dive into the use of disclosure and maintenance polygraphs—typically administered shortly after betrayal, then every 3–6 months—as a tool to foster transparency and healing.

🔍 In this discussion you'll learn:

Why polygraph accuracy varies depending on examiner training, protocol, and client health history.

How polygraphs can break through denial, rationalization, and minimization—common barriers to recovery.

That no polygraph is 100% accurate, and claims otherwise are misleading.

How a client-centered approach—including motivational interviewing rather than interrogation—can lead to more genuine disclosure and trust.

🧠 Clinical and research insights show polygraphs can range from 85% to 89% accuracy when administered under validated protocols in therapeutic contexts.

However, scientific bodies like the American Psychological Association and National Academy of Sciences caution that overall reliability remains controversial and “well below perfection”.
Accuracy also depends on factors such as physical or psychiatric conditions, use of countermeasures, and ethical administration.

This video is not a technical lecture—but a real-world look at how polygraphs function as part of recovery protocols. Ultimately, the value often lies in accountability, truth-building, and emotional clarity—not just infallible data.

If you’re involved in recovery counseling or supporting someone post-betrayal, this content offers clarity and practical perspective.
