When You Can't See the Forest for the Trees
This episode is a little different from our usual forest fables. As we approach October, which marks Mental Health Month, we’re embracing this year’s theme: "Let's Talk About It."
And we do just that.
Trigger Warning: This episode includes candid discussions of suicide and mental health challenges.
Today, we are joined by our dear friend Rachel, and together, the three of us—myself included—share our personal experiences. Shannon shares what it’s like to have suicidal thoughts, the aftermath of a suicide attempt, and together, we explore the emotions that come with loving someone who is in that difficult space.
It’s important to note that we are not mental health professionals, just three individuals with our own unique lived experiences. Our hope is that within this conversation, you’ll find a sense of hope, safety, understanding, and perhaps an invitation to check in with others, as well as permission to speak your own truth.
As promised, here is a quick access list of free, 24/7 support services:
- Lifeline: 13 11 14
Further information about these vital services is available on our website: www.ifthesetreescouldtalk.com.au
