In this episode of Unbuckle Your Fears, lived experience speaker and advisor Megan Barrow, shares Part 2 of her story of Agoraphobia Recovery from working but living within safety areas and behaviours and ultimate freedom. 

Please note a content warning that Megan briefly discusses suicide.

Megan shares a ~20 year period that follows from her returning to employed work and living independently, but still living within the definition of agoraphobia. Her story highlights the rollercoaster nature of mental ill-health "recovery" and that with treatment of her clinical depression in 1998, she ultimately found the path to real freedom from panic and phobic responses, and how to push through her fears.

In this episode of Unbuckle Your Fears, lived experience speaker and advisor Megan Barrow, shares her story of Agoraphobia Recovery, focusing on the period of housebound to returning to independent work.

She revisits where she was at in her agoraphobia, what she'd tried to recover, finding the right mental health specialist, their treatment plan of medication, CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) and exposure therapy, and then starting work again.

She also explains how she thought she was recovered from agoraphobia when she was working and living independently, but she still had phobia avoidance behaviour. In part two she will cover the next stage of her "recovery".

The episode concludes with a question for you to consider.
