I feel like I've been juggling like five or six things all at the same time, and there are days that it's overwhelming and I just I wake up and I look around. Maybe Today I can't think about my, you know my parents. Because I think when we start saying that to ourselves, I think that's when for me is, you know, I use the phrase blue sky, but when you start seeing, you know that, oh my gosh, I'm going to be.
Imagine finding a lifeline in the midst of overwhelming darkness. In this gripping episode of 'Recovery Talks: The Podcast', Marc Lee Shannon sits down with Jessica Anshutz, a documentary photographer and mental health advocate, to uncover her inspiring journey towards wellness. Jessica opens up about her struggles with PTSD and the childhood trauma that left a lasting impact on her life.
Her candid storytelling reveals the pivotal moments that changed her path, including a life-saving marriage and the transformative power of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She also shares how she channels her experiences into a living art form that keeps her grounded and focused. The conversation touches on the profound connection between childhood trauma and becoming an observer/reporter, the vital role of therapy, and the challenges of managing mental health during the COVID pandemic.
As the episode wraps up, Jessica and Marc reflect on 'blue sky moments'—those rare instances of pure clarity and hope—and discuss how supporting others can be a beacon of light on their own mental health journeys. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical insights into navigating the complexities of mental health and recovery.
