TO THE PODCAST HERE
Today’s show is both confronting and challenging.
My special guest, Liz Mulliner AM talks openly of her personal experiences of abuse as a child and how these repressed memories began to impact on her physical health as an adult.
Liz talks about her twenty-five year career as a Casting Consultant and what it was like working with such huge names as Cate Blanchet, Geoffrey Rush and Judy Davis as they developed their skills and later headed overseas to become the house hold names they are today.
Liz recounts the impact of her personal experience of childhood abuse on her health, her career and how the memories of this abuse nearly ended in her death. She graciously shares her experience of psychotherapy and her eventual survival.
Liz has established a haven for people to begin healing from the impact of their childhood abuse, with the assistance of other survivors.
