This is part three of Anne's story, well, a brief overview of her story. . . This episode is about Anne's healing journey after a misdiagnosis and its treatment almost ended her life. She tells of her time in therapy, the paths she chose to help her heal and eventually becoming a Certified Trauma Recovery Coach. She studied to become the kind of person she wished she'd had as she was healing. During this episode, serious mental health issues are discussed and, if you are not in a safe space emotionally, you may want to listen when you are feeling better. If you are having issues right now, please seek help. There are resources below, on my website and an internet search will give you many more. Triggers in this episode include; medical and child sexual abuse, suicide, eating disorders, self-harm, trauma and misdiagnosis. Please remember, this podcast is not a substitute for mental health care and that healing is a journey best traveled with the support of professionals. Just a reminder, I do enjoy spicy language and sentence enhancers from time to time, so if adult language offends you, you have been warned.
