Empowered to Uproot
Abstract:
Empowered to Uproot the Seed of Abuse gives an intimate, transparent account of Dr. Karen Doughty’s grueling journey through childhood sexual abuse and her emergence as a voice of healing and transformation.
Through emotional honesty and spiritual insight, she unveils the internal battles of shame, depression, and suicidal ideation that stemmed from early trauma. Yet within the pain, a seed of resilience began to grow.
Karen’s story is not merely one of survival—it is a testament to redemption. As she tapped into her God-given strength, she discovered the power to overcome, rise, and empower others to do the same.
This groundbreaking book plants the truth that the same soil where pain was sown can become the ground where purpose is born.
