- Lis Cashin’s mental health journey living with undiagnosed PTSD following accidentally killing a friend during a school sports day javelin event.
She challenges the idea that we all need to suffer as a result of going through difficult life events and challenges. She argues that the resulting pain we feel is natural and valid and we need time to process it and heal. But the powerful stories we then make up about the pain and what it means about us/others/the world can create suffering in our minds that is unnecessary and which can be changed. Lis Cashin’s life was devastated when, at just 13 years old, she accidentally killed a friend in a school sports day event.
Because therapy wasn't available at that time, she lived with undiagnosed PTSD and created some very destructive beliefs about herself and went on to blame and punish herself for many years.
Until one day she had a personal awakening and began a journey of healing and personal transformation that has seen her completely change the way she views herself, life and everyone else around her.
Lis is passionate about sharing the key insights and lessons she has learned along the path to happiness to empower people to discover that their potential is far greater than their current reality. She is a speaker, coach, trainer and soon to be published author. Her self-help memoir entitled ‘THIS IS ME: One hell of a path to happiness’ is being published on June 26th, 2019." This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
I am Lis's sister, but did not know about the accident until many years later. To see the strength and tenacity Lis has, as well as the genuine wish to raise awareness of mental health...well I could not be more proud. I hope that some of the people watching this will also check out Lis's book published recently. Inspirational and motivational and fantastic! Please share with all of your friends and family.
Thanks Lucy! x

Re-watched this talk again today. Lis is inarguably a great speaker, with a beautiful message and a tremendous story. How we all (me included) benefit from the reminder that the stories we tell ourselves about our trauma are optional, that we have suffered enough. Particularly moved by the empowered 'in this story' section at the end. Bravo Lis! Hope your message reaches many more people xo
Thank you so much Ella!
