You Can't Make This Sh*t Up! / INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING (ePub)

Louise Dell is an inspiring author, consultant and advocate working in the field of Human Potential. With a background in International Relations and Community Development, it is Louise's own experience of being caught in an abusive, violent relationship (one which nearly cost her life) which drives her philosophy. Louise believes that life is for living, not just surviving and it is this belief which helped her transform her life from one of abuse and fear to one of love and respect. The intention of her work is to raise awareness about abusive, violent and coercive relationships; how to see the warning signs, how to avoid becoming engaged in one, encouraging victims of abuse to leave, and educating friends, family and the wider community on how they can help. Ultimately, Louise's message is one of hope and support; what happened it is not your fault, life can get better and you can heal from the abuse to create a life you love. The moment which changed everything for Louise was when she came face to face with her own mortality at the hands of her violent partner. Pinned down, unable to move, threatened with death she looked into the cold, cruel eyes of her abuser. Deep within her she knew she wanted to live. She decided then and there that her life would change from this point forward. It took courage, determination and many years to disentangle herself from her abuser's web of lies and deceit, face him in court and rebuild her life, but this is what she did. Able to share her story freely and authentically, Louise understands the process of being manipulated into a coercive, violent relationship, how it feels as the abuser takes control, what it takes to finally leave, what to do to navigate the daunting legal system and how to find yourself to recreate your life. With intelligence, compassion and insight Louise brings a fresh, empowering perspective to this most challenging subject. You Can't Make this Sh*t Up! follows her unique story and offers practical
