This week I took the opportunity to have a discussion with my dad about changes in the policing profession, and how he thinks it impacts both the public, and the officers.

Hitting the reset button and realising that in the tougher times, it's even more important to bring everything right back to where we started and focus on what works!

I'm joined this week by someone who has been at my side through the majority of this journey, and after a request, I thought it was time we heard from her!It's important to realise that as we progress through our recovery, our loved ones experience the highs and lows with us, and they also need to be heard.

Everything has a price, and in recovery, moving forward can sometimes come down to whether or not you're prepared to pay it.This week we'll talk about the cost of freeing yourself from some of the ties that bind you as you progress in your journey...

Justice is elusive at the best of times, so we have to be careful in managing our expectations and seeking true justice for ourselves by OUR standards, not someone else's...

There are things all around us that help us to order, explain, articulate and make sense of how we're thinking or feeling, and this eek I want to talk about what some of those things are for me...

For my first in-studio guest, I had an off-the-cuff conversation with a good friend. Low key, reflective and easy listening this week!Enjoy!

Dealing with PTSD can be challenging enough, but it also opens the door to other health concerns and raises other issues that can exacerbate your symptoms (or even keep you from dealing with them) or even negatively affect your physical health.Today we talk about some of those challenges.

This episode features a great conversation with Jon Perrin, co-founder of the Twisted Trauma Foundation.

Let's think about how we see the world, how the world sees us, how we see ourselves, and how it all comes together (or doesn't!).In this episode I want you to ponder how the trauma brain can change relationships and perceptions, and how life in recovery may offer some clarity when it comes to what and who you need in your life, and conversely, what and who you DON'T need!

We all have different ways of coping, or NOT coping, with trauma, triggers, reactivity, anxiety, depression...This week I want to talk about some of the common pitfalls I've both seen and experienced so that we can try and sidestep these landmines in future.

This week I talk about some of the warning signs that have knocked me off balance, and how recognising hem can help you retake your power.

In this first episode, I talk a little about my background and try to set the tone for what I want this podcast to be...

This is a short introduction to let you know what you can expect from this podcast. Keep an eye out over the coming weeks as I prepare content and hopefully settle into publishing a new episode each week.
