Episode 41 - Emotion at Work *Stories* - Chronic Pain

What this episode covers

In this episode Mark Gilroy reprises his role as host of the podcast so that I can tell my story. Long-time listeners will be familiar that I have had some health challenges over the last 2-3 years. I am now feeling so much better. Some things remain and at the same time, I am a lot better. This is an opportunity for me to share my story and how my physical pain affected me emotionally, affected my identity as well as my professional and personal life. Fair warning, there is occasional swearing too. The plan is for this to be the first in a series of episodes on chronic pain. This is because I want to look at different people's experiences of chronic pain as well as interview a researcher into chronic pain. As is the case with our Stories series, there are no references as such.
