    ANNAPOLIS, MD, December 03, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- November 11, 2021 Michelle Rene' Hammer launched her new book "Boundaries for Breakthrough- Live as God Designed: 8 Essential Keys to Emotional Well-Being", and it Became a Best Seller.

In the dark, foreboding woods one, crisp, fall evening, my short life of a mere twelve, years forever changed. How I wish I'd known BOUNDARIES! How many times had I asked myself why I couldn't stop him that night, why I acted like I didn't care, why I froze, why "You're hurting me!" wasn't enough, why GOD allowed me to be used and abused?

Truthfully, I could not accept the experience nor my inability to make it different. I blamed myself. I lost all hope. Scarred for life. Damaged beyond repair. I became depressed, tossed to and FRO by others whims. A shell of my former self, so lost, so despondent. Then, I discovered boundaries as I heard the voice of GOD saying, "You must choose!" You must be kidding. I didn't choose that. Furthermore, I didn't know or hadn't heard of a boundary until then. Nope. I had not. The permission to choose was one of many boundaries I would come to learn. Free will was the start.

I wish I could say the time between my assault and my discovery of choice was of short duration. That would be a lie. I spent almost a decade unraveling until I ended up in the psychiatric ward of a local hospital. I died a thousand deaths until I heard GOD speak. I spoke of this evil to no one. And this secret, it ate me alive, bit by bit, from the inside out, until I no longer knew who I was anymore. I no longer knew fantasy from reality. How could I go on?

In a recent interview on the Thriving Entrepreneur Radio Show, Michelle said, "I learned through my own adversity, and the adversity of thousands of other people that I've counseled and now coach, certain themes that I've noticed that not only lined up with what I learned clinically and in college and in my masters program and additional training I took, but biblically, and I combined that stuff, and that's the message I'm shouting from the mountain tops. I want to help people get unstuck and get out of all of the things that just weigh them down."

The host, Steve Kidd said, "The journey that Michelle takes the reader on is a rollercoaster of emotions, finished with sunshine in that you learn just how you can set your boundaries and protect your own well-being. What a wonderful gift! I urge you to get a copy of her book on Amazon, today!"
