Psychosocial Disability, Self Advocacy and Creative Recovery with Pam Joy Wood

In this episode of The I Can’t Stand Podcast, I speak with author and performer Pam Joy Wood about psychosocial disability, long term mental health recovery, and the power of self advocacy. Pam lives with ADHD, complex PTSD, and a history of acute and chronic major depression. Through her solo show DYS-ORDER-ED and her memoir Five Fat Sausages, she shares what it means to survive systemic failure within healthcare, misdiagnosis, medication side effects, and institutional harm and how she rebuilt her life through creativity and radical joy. As mentioned in the episode, DYS-ORDER-ED is available to download and watch for free here:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eCxwVCc4Qb0 You can find Pam’s memoir Five Fat Sausages here:https://pavlovapress.co.nz/pam-wood-author-page/Mental Health Free resources:https://www.dropbox.com Connect with Peta Hooke: Instagram: @petahooke Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@petahooke Website: www.icantstandpodcast.com Email: [email protected]  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
