HDROR LI-VKHOR (The Sparrow to Choose)
A Warrior's Journey - In 2005 I was wounded in the army, underwent a long and intensive rehabilitation process and two years later I came back to life. But a few years later I started to develop post-trauma symptoms and went through a severe mental crisis. The crisis lasted for about a decade, but after a lengthy and intense process, I chose to live.
Today I am a fitness trainer, I have my own club, creator, writer. and lectures on coping with post-trauma. In the lecture I talk about my struggle, about coping with crises in life, and how you can grow out of difficulty.
