Balancing the Scales: An Attorney's Battle with Complex PTSD

I'm not the house of cards that falls down easily.
Ever wondered how a high-flying attorney copes with a mental health crisis? Meet Shannon, a former criminal defense lawyer whose life took an unexpected turn when she developed Complex PTSD. This episode of 'Mental Health News Radio' takes you through Shannon's journey from the courtroom to the therapist's office. Shannon was juggling a demanding career and a young family when her world started to crumble under the weight of anxiety, depression, and dissociation.
In August 2018, she realized something was seriously wrong, and thus began her battle with Complex PTSD. Shannon doesn't just share her triumphs; she opens up about her darkest moments, her failures, and the everyday tips that help her manage her condition. This episode is a raw and honest look at the impact of mental illness on one's life and career.
Shannon's story sheds light on the importance of finding balance and seeking help, especially when dealing with a high-pressure job and family responsibilities. You'll also hear about the challenges of navigating the legal system as a victim of cybercrime and the often misleading portrayal of mental health issues in the media. Whether you're struggling with mental illness yourself or supporting someone who is, Shannon's story offers valuable insights and a sense of hope.
Tune in for an empowering discussion that proves even in the face of adversity, strength and resilience can prevail.
