When you're talking to somebody who knows that they have hallucinations, how do you discern between their reality and reality?
Ever wondered what it's like to be in a mental hospital? In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', Steph takes us through the gritty reality of her first hours in one. Alongside co-host Beth, they listen to Chapter 3 of Steph's memoir, 'Discovering My Scars', and dive into her harrowing experience. Steph describes being in a holding pen, feeling more like an animal than a human, and the heartbreaking moment when her family refused to help her get out.
The conversation doesn't shy away from the tough stuff—like the role of police in mental health crises and the often dehumanizing treatment patients receive. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Steph reflects on how these moments shaped her and the importance of working through personal struggles. This episode is a raw, honest look at mental health, family dynamics, and the power of human connection.
It's a must-listen for anyone who's ever felt alone in their struggles or is trying to understand what their loved ones might be going through.
