Do Not Try HIM At Home
Corporate Lawyer Describes Near Death Experience in New Book to Help Professional Women in Toxic Relationships ORDER THE BOOKSuccessful Corporate Lawyer, Sandra Ten Hoope is using her experience of surviving not one, but three abusive relationships, to help other professional women re-write their stories.
In her new book published in September 2020, called Do Not Try HIM At Home, she recalls her near-death experience at the hands of her then partner, (The Abuser), who unleashed a brutal and sustained attack lasting six hours.
In this honest and compelling account, released on the same day that EastEnders’ character Chantelle dies at the hands of her abusive husband Gray, Sandra has revealed the extent of living her double life.
She says, “I spent years hiding the truth of what was happening to my colleagues, friends and family, like many professional women in toxic relationships. By day I would be closing multi-million-pound deals in the boardroom, but once I left the office – at home, I would barely look up for fear of what would happen. But I want other women to know, there absolutely is a way out, where you can be yourself again.”
As part of her book launch, Sandra is helping to raise vital funds for UK charity Women’s Aid, with one pound from every copy sold being donated to them.
Cordelia Lodge, Fundraising Partnerships Support Officer at Women’s Aid, says, “Sandra Ten Hoope’s book highlights how survivors of domestic abuse can re-write their stories. It is an important message which can help inspire other survivors. Thank you for supporting Women’s Aid to help us protect women and children from domestic abuse.”
Do Not Try HIM at Home provides a brave message to any woman in a damaging relationship; look for the signs and if you see them, know that there is a way to escape and change your life.
Sandra is now using her experience and extensive corporate mentoring and coaching skills to help women recognise the patterns of abuse, and re-build themselves one step at a time.
As a toxic relationship recovery expert, she’s helping them take the steps needed to find themselves again.
Sandra has created the Dare to Displease Facebook group; a safe haven for high achieving professional women, who are or have been suffering from toxic relationships. In this group we empower you to regain trust in yourself – so that you will be able to speak your truth with confidence and will dare to build a happy & healthy relationship.
