About this listen

This story is told through the jagged peephole of the author's awareness, examining her formative wounds and influences from the perspective of a woman who has now gained experience and wisdom. As she peers over her soul's shoulder, she recalls the chaos of her once-fragile childhood mind. She shudders as she is reminded of the sting of her lonely childhood, her feelings of abandonment, and her painful memories of being bullied. Her childhood self was once so lost that she even contemplated suicide. As the years progress, her mind is riddled with obsession, compulsion, and a crippling sense of low self-esteem. A turning point arrives many years later, after marriage and the birth of three children.

This story is about healing the faulty programming of childhood. It is about recovery from relationship addiction, food addiction, anxiety, and constant fear. It is a human story that will resonate with listeners from all walks of life, and which offers hope to anyone who has felt imprisoned by the past.

Understanding who we are starts with understanding who our early care givers were influenced by. Marriage counseller Ed's questions to Lisa are brilliant. Lisa's responses are so, so common. Most people have no clue about who they are and what they need to have a happy fulfilling life. Thanks Lisa for sharing your story .John G

Today I'm running as fast as I can for those two books Lisa. Thank you with all my heart for guiding me on the road to my way home. Abuse and neglect of little children is so entrenched in this world. Us gentle souls who constantly, and with indestructible compassion and empathy , honesty and conviction, we try to heal those around us. Now I know there is a road back to me too. Bless you Dear One x
