003. HEALING WITH HE(ART) - PART I with Renee Schuls-Jacobson
Join me for Part I of my conversation with Renee Schuls-Jacobson--artist and author of Psychiatrized: Waking Up After a Decade of Bad Medicine for a deep, intense, and heart-felt conversation about her recovering from an iatrogenic injury she sustained from taking a benzodiazepine as prescribed by a psychiatrist for insomnia.
This episode is real and raw. Be mindful of your own needs for those in the midst of healing trauma. We will discuss adverse childhood experiences including sexual assault, birth trauma, and many other topics that lead to Renee being “psychiatrized.” We will also discuss her 8 year recovery from discontinuation syndrome caused by taking benzos as prescribed, plus the miracles along the way, lessons learned from inpatient trauma treatment and how the gift of art therapy, which started as a comforting distraction from her injuries, later become her passionate, purposeful, heart-centered profession.
Renée A. Schuls-Jacobson graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from Hobart & William Smith Colleges (1989) and a Master’s degree from University of Buffalo (1992). Eight years after suffering an iatrogenic brain injury, Renée’s brain has mostly healed. Today, she is an independent artist whose paintings hang in private collections throughout the world. In addition to making and selling her artwork, it has become her mission to educate the public about the dangers associated with long-term psychiatric drug use. A Certified Recovery Peer Advocate, she offers emotional support to people suffering through protracted benzodiazepine and SSRI withdrawal syndrome. Her home and studio are located in Rochester, New York.
