In this powerful episode of Trauma Undone, host Natasha June speaks with Lis Johnson—certified domestic violence advocate, high-conflict divorce coach, and co-founder of Been There Got Out. Lis shares how she went from a seemingly stable marriage to uncovering a double life, navigating legal abuse, and ultimately becoming a published pro se litigant. She now helps others escape toxic relationships and reclaim their power. This episode is a moving testament to resilience, strategy, and hope after trauma.
🌪️ Trauma Can Spark Transformation
Lis turned years of legal and emotional abuse into a new purpose—supporting others as a coach and advocate after surviving over 100 court appearances.
🧠 Knowledge is Power in the Courtroom
Strategic communication is key. Lis teaches how to document abuse effectively and shift the power dynamic through thoughtful, targeted writing.
💔 Legal Abuse is a Hidden Form of Violence
Abusers often weaponize the legal system. Lis and her partner Chris expose this tactic and offer strategies to fight back with strength and clarity.
🎯 Focus on You, Not the Abuser
Instead of diagnosing your ex, focus on yourself—educate, plan, and act early to avoid costly missteps in court and in healing.
💬 You Haven’t Been Heard… Yet
Lis encourages survivors to stay the course. Justice and healing take time, and perseverance makes all the difference.
