Surviving and Thriving: Hannah Barnard's Journey Through 'Adult Tantrums'

The isolation of a stalker and the debilitation of the effects of the cruelty and ensnaring and imprisonment of my child from me and the partial restrictions of movement by lockdown that, for me, gave me freedom of time and freedom to create, freedom to recover some of the abuse and some peace and safety, the freedom to think and learn to be me.
What happens when the walls close in and every move feels controlled? In this gripping episode, Hannah Barnard takes us on a raw and emotional journey through an extract from her book, 'Adult Tantrums'. As a mother, daughter, and survivor of domestic abuse, Hannah's story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. She dives into the suffocating isolation and restrictions she faced during lockdown, painting a vivid picture of the mental and emotional toll of abuse.
But this isn't just a tale of suffering; it's one of resilience and creativity. Through her child's experiences and her own struggles, Hannah finds a way to transform pain into art. This episode doesn't just highlight the dark side of domestic abuse; it offers hope and practical recovery strategies. Listeners will gain valuable insights into the importance of support systems, the role of UK services, and the power of creativity in healing.
Whether you're a survivor yourself or seeking to understand the complexities of abuse, this episode is a must-listen. Hannah's narrative serves as a beacon for anyone looking to reclaim their life and find strength in the face of adversity.
