Own Your Truth Podcast | Ep.28 EMPATHY, CONNECTION, AND LESSONS FROM THE INTERSECTION OF DESPAIR

This was an excerpt from an original essay by Liz Scott, a psychologist with over 40 years of experience and the author of This Never Happened, an absolutely heart wrenching memoir about her childhood journey with narcissistic parents, and her relentless search for the truth, for belonging, and a deeper understanding of her own life.

Liz Scott is an extraordinary woman who had arrived at the intersection of despair and made a conscious choice to live a full life.

This interview is a deep dive into what it means to take an unflinching look at ourselves and our history, in order to create change.

Liz is a practicing psychologist in Portland, and a practicing writer. Her work has appeared in The MacGuffin, New Stone Circle, and Lake Effect, among other journals. And she’s the mother of two grown daughters. This Never Happened is her first book.

Margaret Malone writes of This Never Happened: “Surprising, funny, and impossible to put down, Liz Scott’s memoir will break your heart with its calamitous wit and self-awareness. Scott’s elusive pursuit of familial truth and belonging haunts every page. A strange, unforgettable search for meaning.”

Liz will be reading, and signing books, at Powell’s City of Books on Tuesday, April 23rd at 7:30pm.
