Who is Lundy Bancroft?
Lundy Bancroft is an author, workshop leader, and activist on trauma, abuse, and healing. He offers dramatically new ways to understand the emotional injuries we suffer, their lasting effects, and how best to get ourselves free. Everyone has the right to live free from abuse and oppression. You can find a path to full enjoyment of your life, basking in the love and support of people around you, and to throwing off the weights of past and present mistreatment.
Lundy appears frequently as a public speaker and trainer, and as a leader of weekend retreats. His retreats focus on such issues as recovery from relationship abuse, thriving while working as an advocate or an activist, and taking charge of our own emotional healing through learning Cooperative Therapy. His public speaking and training addresses many subjects related to domestic violence, with a particular focus on abusive men and their children.
Lundys activist work is devoted to recovering the custody rights of protective parents, with an emphasis on the chronic systemic abuse of the human rights of protective mothers and their children in family court litigation across the continent. The Child Custody Justice section of this website, in addition to addressing these societal issues, offers extensive advice to mothers about pursuing their particular cases when children have been exposed to a violent or sexually abusive father.
In addition to his four books, Lundy has written many articles regarding trauma and abuse, healing, and social change, most of which are available for download on this website free of charge.
Lundy offers retreats on such themes as recovering from abusive relationships, overcoming the stress of working with trauma survivors, and learning the powerful new Cooperative Therapy healing approach.
Lundy's trainings focus on accountability and change for men who batter, fostering recovery in children who witness domestic violence, and addressing abusers' post-separation behavior.
