Coming Out of the Darkness: Becoming Unapologetically Me
by Lisa Cheeseboro

What if the very pain that tried to silence you is the same thing God will use to set you free?

In Coming Out of the Darkness: Becoming Unapologetically Me, Lisa Cheeseboro shares a powerful faith-based testimony of survival, healing, and transformation. Through raw transparency and biblical truth, she walks readers through the devastating impact of childhood trauma, abuse, adultification, perfectionism, people-pleasing, church hurt, burnout and the courageous journey toward wholeness.

This is not just a story about surviving trauma.
It is a story about breaking generational cycles.
It is a declaration of freedom.

With warmth, honesty, and research-supported insight, Lisa explores:

- The long-term effects of childhood trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
- How trauma shapes identity, relationships, and self-worth
- The impact of perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and burnout
- Setting boundaries without guilt
- Forgiveness as the doorway to emotional freedom
- Renewing your mind through Scripture and growth mindset
- Healing within faith and community
- Letting your testimony become someone else's breakthrough

Grounded in biblical truth and supported by psychological research, this book equips women with practical tools for healing, including therapy support, faith-based practices, trauma education, and real-life strategies for restoration.

Lisa's voice is both prophetic and pastoral reminding every woman that she does not have to remain in the dark.

You are not defined by what happened to you.
You are not disqualified by your past.
You are not too broken to heal.

Weeping may endure for a night ...but joy comes in the morning.
