Self-Forgiveness is Tough
Lis is a mental well-being speaker, author, trainer and coach who suffered an unimaginable trauma at the age of 13 years old.
Lis felt as though she didn\'t fit in, or belong for most of her life, due in large part to an undiagnosed mental trauma. She is now on a mission to wipe out shame for good. The shame and self-rejection she felt impacted her destructively in different ways over several decades; she hated herself and didn\'t believe she deserved happiness. She now shares what she learnt on her own journey of personal transformation so that no one else has to suffer as she did. Lis was only thirteen years old when the javelin left her hand and she watched as her friend was struck. Four days later, her friend didn\'t make it and Lis now has to live with what happened. It was an accident, but at that age how was she supposed to not blame herself? Shame and self-rejection are destructive, but Lis shares her journey of overcoming her trauma, and PTSD, accepting that she deserves happiness. She\'s on a mission to wipe out shame for good and shows that the suffering can end and you can learn to forgive yourself.
