I had to rebuild who I was-- Finding trust and a pathway out of psychosis
from Back from the Abyss: Psychiatry in Stories | Psychotherapy, Psychopharmacology, and Psychedelics · host Craig Heacock MD
Very few people are willing and/or able to share and describe their descent into psychosis— in part because memory formation and consolidation are so impaired during episodes of psychosis…..and also because there is often so much fear and shame tied up in the experience of losing one’s mind. Here Dr. H's patient Corben describes his very early onset illness, how it started with years of depression, then shifted into profound alienation and increasingly frightening psychosis, and finally into stability and recovery.Video made by Corben to accompany his storyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIJcriJjggABFTA on IG @backfromtheabysspodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/backfromtheabysspodcast/BFTA/ Dr. Hhttps://www.craigheacockmd.com/podcast-page/Support the show
