I avoided touch basically from the time I was a very small child... You can't have a relationship if you can't let people touch you.
Imagine living a life where even the simplest touch feels unbearable. That's the reality Doddie Green faced, and she shares her powerful story on this episode of 'Speaking Candidly with Candace'. Doddie, a published author, has spent her life battling depression and avoiding physical contact. Her first book, 'Touch', reflects her struggles through a semi-autobiographical tale of a young woman grappling with the same issues. But Doddie's journey doesn't end there.
She has recently published her third book in a murder mystery series, using writing as a therapeutic outlet to navigate her mental health challenges. In this heartfelt conversation, Doddie opens up about how her aversion to touch impacted her relationships and how she found solace in writing. She discusses the therapeutic role her books have played in her life, transforming her personal pain into compelling narratives.
Doddie also sheds light on the hurdles of self-publishing and how she overcame them with the support of her close friend, Kaysen. Listeners will find inspiration in Doddie's candid reflections on the importance of having a strong support system and how tactile experiences have become part of her healing journey. This episode is not just a discussion about depression; it's a testament to the power of art in overcoming life's toughest battles.
Tune in to hear Doddie's full story and discover how she turned her struggles into literary success.
