Hi! Future Danielle (3 weeks after Past Danielle published this episode) would like you to know that when Past Danielle recorded this episode, she did so from a very emotion-based space. How Past Danielle spoke about her experiences with old friends specifically was from a very Polarized hurt space. Past Danielle did not prioritize allowing the space for other perspectives to be talked about. Past Danielle did not bring up her own involvement in her experiences (how my own actions and treatment of others may have led to things discussed in this Episode). Does all this negate what I said on this episode? No, I spoke of my experiences truthfully. The issue is that I did not recognize my own involvement within them. This Podcast is all about being brutally honest, so just keep this in mind as you are listening!
In this solo episode, Danielle opens her heart up to tell you about her mental health journey from start to Present. She discusses early painful friendships, bullying, toxic relationships, abandonment, substance abuse, self-harm, an abusive relationship, and more. She also shares with you how she recovered from complex-PTSD and reminds you that you are able to recover from anything, if you desire to. Get some snacks and a drink to listen to Danielle's experiences from grade 6 to now. Don't be afraid to reach out on IG or any socials if you wish to share similar experiences/chat with Danielle :)
