Welcome to Episode #21 of Unbreakable Spirit. In this episode you will hear the story of how Lise, at age 4< and her mother were severely burned in a household accident. The fire left Lise with 3rd degree burns over 65% of her body. Her lower lip was burned off. She spent her most of her childhood in the hospital, undergoing painful surgeries. When she was out of the hospital and returning to school, she experienced horrific bullying from classmates. Her parents were narcissistic, neglectful and unavailable. Her brother was her best parent and she adored him. But, he too, was the victim of distant parents, and he committed suicide at the age of 19. Lise will tell you that the loss of her brother was the worst trauma of all.
But Lise was resilient. She went on to heal, live a good life, and become a clinical psychologist, specializing in resiliency. Dr. Lise created a powerful mnemonic, GOALS +M&M. This mnemonic depicts the characteristics of resilient people, and if you don't feel you are resilient, you can work on shifting your mindset to become more resilient. G=gratitude, O = optimism, A = active coping , L=love, S = social skills and M&M = meaning making. In this podcast Dr. Lise guides us through each of these steps with concrete examples. She also wrote the book, Flashback Girl: Lessons on Resilience From a Burn Survivor, which has won three awards.
