Allowing Love After Abuse – Reverend Lail Ann Haynes

If you are the victim of sexual trauma and abuse, my guest Reverend Lail Ann Haynes will leave you feeling empowered and ready to allow love into your life.

Lail Ann Haynes is a native Oklahoman, an Ordained Non-Denominational Minister, a "Mother Teresa" to those she ministers to, and most importantly, she is a Survivor. Her life journey has been filled with severe trauma, including incestuous rape beginning at the age of 3, severe domestic violence, suicide, and a debilitating autoimmune disease leaving her bedridden for almost 2 years.

Today Reverend Lail is a whole and happy woman in a loving and supportive marriage with the love of her life. She is the mother to 3 beautiful children, and she has ended the pattern of generations of abuse. Through the love of her husband and her spiritual belief system, Reverend Lail has learned to love after abuse.

Reverend Lail is dedicated to helping others heal from the trauma caused by family rape and abuse, and shares her story to help others recover. She helps them learn to love… and to be loved… again.

Reverend Lail is an avid supporter of RAINN, the acronym for Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, where she counsels and supports victims. In spite of her own physical limitations from autoimmune disease, she works diligently to increase awareness of this invisible illness. When health permits, Reverend Lail volunteers for local rape crises centers and as a Suicide Prevention Specialist in Oklahoma City.

Our conversation today will delve into both the darkness of abuse and the light of recovery. Please join me for a powerful conversation with this remarkable woman.

You can find Reverend Lail sharing her light and love via her website, ValIntuition and on Facebook.
