Lisa’s Inspirational Story

Before my toxic relationship I was never quiet, I was a typical Essex girl, loud & in your face.  

Then I met him! It happened slowly, each day another piece of me disappeared, I was fading away. Who was I, where has Lisa gone! But, then I found my voice again. I stood up for myself, I argued & challenged him. I got attacked because of it, but I found the strength to leave my abuser. I truly had no idea what my life would be like without him! I was so broken, I felt worthless.  

At my lowest point I told my Dr that I was going to kill myself if someone didn’t help me unscrew my head! I started seeing a clinical psychologist and after 10 months of EMDR therapy i found that I had dealt with all those emotional & negative feelings that I had buried deep in my head.  

My goal has always been about moving forward and finding my worth. I didn’t want to be a ‘victim’ I wanted to find Lisa again. It’s been 5 years of bloody hard work, with some days of wanting to end my life, but I didnt, I kept going and this year 2022, I chose to push myself even more.  

I know my worth now. I always say how I feel. I always stand up for myself. I never apologise for being me. I will not settle for being second to anyone. I’ve found love again & this time its real. 

I am FREE and it feels GOOD!
