Ok ok.. There are so much episodes, so I picked one that caught my eye... Can't listen to all of them in order. There's only so much time in a day :p so here we go :) I work with people who experienced trauma, so this is very interresting

Hi! first of all thanks for putting time and effort in making this podcasts! I saw the last one, 18: It's ok not to be ok on my feed and thought: Now that are my thoughts exactly! And then I saw that it was episode 18, and I thought to myself: Wouldn't it be better that I start with watching episode 1? And so I did... And I'm glad I did! It's nice to get to know you! I do social work too but I rolled into it a bit different. I have fysical problems due to surgeries. I have lungproblems, copd and asthma, two hernia in my back and one in my neck, I had bloodcloths in my lungs and had a lunginfarct. Chronic fatigue syndrome, fybromialgia. And I had a bad youth. I started feeling like I wasn't worth anything, got social anxiety and anxiatydisfunctions... To make a long story short: I needed mental help. I've spend 9 months in a mental hospital during the day. I went home every evening and weekends. I started to get to know myself better and learned to love myself again... I accepted my body and stopped looking at the thing I couldn't do anymore and missed and focussed on the things I still can do. And that's how now I act in plays and musicals. Very small roles, but it is what is possible. I sing again. But most of all: I started talking about my journey and the things I had learned in therapy and it helped people. It provided hope understanding for them. I am now a experienceworker. I talk to groups or one on one... I can't work anymore but I am in such a happy place right now doing things that matter. Congrats on your bachelors in social work. I will now go watch episode 2. Or listen, rather :-)
