Educate ● Empower ● Transform
The Karen Doughty School of Healing (KDSH) is dedicated to changing the dynamics of human suffering, improving quality of life, and transforming coping mechanisms. Through education, programs, tools, and resources, we walk with adult survivors of child sexual abuse on the road to healing.
At the heart of KDSH is a commitment to bridge the gap between survivors living with the long-lasting effects of trauma and the practical steps needed for recovery. We hold survivors in high esteem, believing in their capacity to shift from victim to victor, tragedy to triumph, and—as I have personally experienced—misery to ministry.
MISSION
To unravel the mentalities shaped by sexual abuse and equip survivors with the right tools for recovery. Our exclusive resources are designed to empower transformation and sustain healing.
VISION
To see people restored to their rightful place—living on track, in alignment with God’s original intent and purpose for their lives.
PHILOSOPHY
KDSH embraces the essence of change. We believe true transformation comes from leaders who have first been impacted by change themselves, making them powerful agents of healing for others.
OBJECTIVES
We exist to:
-
Offer survivors a supportive community and programs that help them confront and come to terms with their abuse.
-
Provide a framework to identify symptoms and adjust coping mechanisms for long-term healing.
-
Strategically guide survivors from victim to victor, pain to purpose, and tragedy to triumph.
-
Facilitate empowerment that dismantles guilt, blame, and shame.
-
Support survivors in grieving the losses that affect self-esteem, trust, identity, and decision-making—while guiding recovery efforts.
-
Detoxify the lingering residue of abuse to restore wholeness.
-
Return survivors to God’s original intent and purpose for their lives.
-
Provide an educational experience that equips survivors with lasting skills to maintain their healing, even if faced with future triggers.

How to Get Back on Your Feet After Falling Victim to Sexual Abuse
Overview
My Overcoming Child Sexual Abuse Program runs like a well-oiled machine. The methods I use are not theories — they are born out of my own journey of overcoming sexual abuse. This means every principle has been lived, tried, and proven true.
I now offer you the opportunity to experience a well-designed plan of healing, created to effect real change in your life.
What to Expect?
At the School of Healing, you get to choose your path:
1. Individual Lessons – Start small with my Introductory Course Catalog.
2. 3-Step Formula Program – Stay on the surface level if you’re just beginning.
3. Signature Strategy System – How to Get Back on Your Feet After Falling Victim to Sexual Abuse — a deep dive that takes you into the soulish realm, where abuse has been stored, and begins the process of release.
Whichever option you choose, the goal is the same: to snuff out the residue abuse has left behind and to help you return to God’s original intent and purpose for your life.
Course features
The Overcoming Child Sexual Abuse Program is a strictly confidential, online digital learning experience. Each lesson is thoughtfully designed to meet diverse learning styles through:
