Ross McKenzie's Path: From Bipolar Disorder to Holistic Healing

I get to experience now, on the other side of releasing trauma, what it is to have my nervous system know how to self-regulate, which it couldn't do before, because there was so much trauma inside.
Ever wondered if there's more to managing bipolar disorder than just medication? Jeff Friedman sits down with Ross McKenzie, the creative mind behind the documentary 'Bipolarized', to explore this very question. Ross takes us on a heartfelt journey through his struggles with trauma and bipolar disorder, revealing how he found peace and stability through holistic practices like yoga and open dialogue.
But that's not all—Ross also shares his exciting new venture: a retreat center in Costa Rica aimed at helping others find similar healing. The conversation covers the often-overlooked need for public awareness and insurance support for alternative treatments, providing listeners with a fresh perspective on mental wellness. Whether you're navigating your own mental health challenges or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a message of hope and a wealth of practical insights.
