Victimtown - An Unavoidable Destination and The Gifts It Offers with Liz Long

<p>Liz’s workshops and book are for people wrestling with the big questions of life. They may be on a healing journey already, or maybe they’re feeling lost and yearning for something more. They might have anxiety or depression - or perhaps they’re just thinking, “There’s GOTTA be more to life.”</p><p>Her core message is that our childhood coping mechanisms are not meant to be permanent.</p><p>Liz wrote this book because it took her fifty-eight years to figure out most of her shit. And that’s okay. She definitely doesn't have everything sorted out. But, Liz learned a few things that she wanted to share. Things that will help other people figure out their own stuff sooner.</p><p>When Liz was six years old, her favorite aunt, Linda White, disappeared at the age of nineteen. As Liz’s mother moved into the role of crisis management, she completely checked out of parenting. They moved into her grandparents’ house, and Liz grew up in Linda’s bedroom. They all endured five very long years of not knowing if she was even alive.
