Life Skills Founder
Dr. Paul Hegstrom is the founder of Life Skills International. He spent the first forty years of his life not understanding the driving force that caused him to self-destruct again and again. He could not communicate or identify his feelings. He knew something was wrong, but lived his life in denial. Over $20,000 was spent on counseling where he was giving "labels," however, it never got to the root of his problem. This only added to his anger and frustration. His 16-year marriage ended because he could not get the help he needed. The violence continued in subsequent relationships and finally, after being involved in a life-threatening situation that could have meant 15-20 years in prison, he asked for help.
In 1983, Paul and Judy were remarried. They brought healing to their own family as they worked to set up Life Skills International.
As a testimony to the program's effectiveness, their second marriage has been free of emotional and physical abuse since its beginning. All three children and their families live violence free lives.
