Lois Hollis has accomplished many things in her 78 years on this Earth -- for over 30 years she worked as an RN with a focus on nephrology, helping establish the first dialysis clinic in the country. Despite a long and successful career in healthcare, however, the abusive traumas she suffered in childhood continued to weigh on her and her health began to decline. Eventually she left the field of traditional medicine, seeking holistic remedies and emotional counseling. After regaining her vitality she knew that she had to help others in their suffering.
Lois ascribes many problems of the mind and body to a force she calls "shame/guilt," two emotions that are typically separated but that she says are closely related. Learning to talk with these emotions, and especially for creatives, learning to engage and master your inner critic, can help heal childhood traumas and unwind creative blocks.
Lois offers emotional counseling, and has many artlcles and blogs on her website. She has also produced a film exploring the concept of shame/guilt in three parts.
