Mental health, bullying, body dismorphia, and cosmetics surgery
Leanne lives in Redcar. As a child she was quite shy, but loved gymnastics and dancing. Despite her boisterousness, Leanne suffered bullying at Secondary School and had to change schools.
Leanne’s bullying centred on her appearance. Whilst Leanne contrived to exude an air of cool indifference to the taunts she received, inwardly she was naturally upset by them.
The bullying negatively biased Leanne’s inner narrative, causing her to become self-critical and skewing her perception of the way she truly looked. She believed the insults and thought of herself as ugly. It was a damaging circular thought process prompted by the projected insecurities of Leanne’s peers.
After leaving school, Lean...

Dave's Story of many tragedies to now being nearly two years sober
Просмотров 58День назад
Stockton man, Dave, has been in recovery for 20 months. As a child he grew up in a close knit community. He was close to his brothers and recalls that his relatives all lived in close proximity so there was always a nearby house to hang out in. Dave’s father suffered a fatal stroke when Dave was just sixteen and it was at this time, Dave recalls, that “things started to go wrong”. Dave’s mother...

Rocky lives in Hartlepool, working as a removal man for a local firm, and subcontracting for the M.O.D.

Tackling Addiction Patrick I'Anson-Liddell Interview
Просмотров 147Месяц назад
Patrick grew up in Hartlepool, a stone’s throw away from the local beaches and nature walks. Describing his family as “outdoorsy”, Patrick attributes his love of nature to his family’s influence, singling out fishing trips with his father and his uncles as having made an impression upon him. A nature lover and birdwatcher, Patrick’s innate sensitivity and small stature made him a target for bul...

Sam is an alcoholic in recovery. She has been in recovery for over twenty years, but only got sober in 2019. Sam explains that for a long time she failed to work her 12-Step programme properly, attributing her lack of commitment to a belief that she might not be an alcoholic and that she might be able to drink moderately. Sam’s mum is a recovered alcoholic and it was she who pushed Sam in the d...

Alcoholic finds identity as non binary

Naz recounts the difficulties experienced growing up without a clear sense of gender identity. Born female, Naz describes relating strongly to boys from around the age of five, and feeling like a tomboy, whilst also having “girlie days”. This fluidity caused Naz some confusion. As Naz matured, sexually, a decision was made to “come out” as a lesbian, but Naz still felt that in terms of their id...

    I can still remember your last sentence Stephen mate I was in rather Moorlands or Hull when you got Transferred from Castington and you’ve turned your life around so much since them days mate. It took me another 15 years after that to Get myself clean and stay Drug-free and crime-free and I’m where I want to be today because I started changing my mindset and worked hard to get here, as you know I’m a single father bringing my beautiful son up alone but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’ve got to say I’m proper proud of how far you’ve come and the things you’ve achieved my mate. Community links is going from strength to strength and they is no one better to help people on the Road to recovery than you and Craig. Keep up the Good work mate
