On this day, six years ago, I experienced the beginning of the virus that would change everything. Phase one treatment update.

In this episode, I come back to my podcasting microphone for the first time since 2022 to address the actual, science based, lab tested "long covid" diagnosis I finally received in late 2025 from my traumatic, life-threatening pandemic April 2020 infection and to discuss my treatment, where I am today and how I'm trying to face the necessary "phase one" of treatment if I'm ever going to be able to stop surviving and resume with living. 

This is a podcast I do "by me, for me" to help me regain the life that was stolen in 2020, as I have learned I have been "living" in survival mode with HPA-axis dysregulation since that infection. 

In this session I talk about all of the events over the past 4 weeks that have left me feeling mentally exhausted and alone. 

This sessions/episode picks up where the previous session left off, regarding unresolved past trauma and how to heal it and move forward.  

In this episode, therapist me and patient me discussed some unresolved past trauma that was triggered by being reacquainted with someone from the past. 

In this session therapist me and patient me discuss my current financial "crisis", the impact on my mental health and how to move forward. 

In this episode, I complete the intake session, acting as the therapist and the patient.
