We're back for 2022 with episode five of series two!
This week, Rebecca speaks to Darren Hodgkinson, who she first met in November taking part in cold water immersion with Reservoir Doggs, of which he was a founding member. She went on a hike he was leading and threw herself in the deep end, literally, and now takes part in these dips regularly with this wonderful welcoming community.
Darren spoke about everything from living with ADHD and depression to being bullied as a child, his experiences in a successful career in the police, become more creative with photography, music, poetry and writing his first book, and going on his self-help journey following years in traditional mental health treatment. He’s found a lot of success in alternative therapies over the years, from hypnotherapy to reiki, breathwork and most importantly, cold water immersion. Darren has been doing cold water dips every single day, raising money for the Mental Health Matters charity, which he is doing for a full 120 days. Darren also discussed the unfortunate passing of his father during the first wave of Covid, and how that has impacted the way he perceives and lives his life.
