22. Reflection

We must issue this episode with a warning that content in this podcast is explicit and may be unsuitable for some viewers.
This podcast was majorly difficult to record for both of us.
When people look at us doing a podcast, they might assume that we know all the tips and tricks to keep on top of mental health. The reality is, we are equally as ill prepared as the majority of people when it comes to dealing with these issues. It takes a lot of courage to come forth and speak about these issues, which in return helped one of us begin to heal from trauma. This episode details an experience of recent self-harm and the reason as to why it came to that point. Please do not think that this episode is a cry for help, it's not. We recorded this to show our audience that it's ok to speak up and get help. It's ok to not feel ok. Some days are bright and some are dark. There's always light at the end of the tunnel. Share your experiences with others and seek professional help when necessary. Message us if you are also struggling with self harm.
Hosts: Sam Mitchell & Nafees Akhtar
