Ep. 53: Interview with Ceri Lewis: When your brain tries to kill you - the episode that could save your life.
How do you get back from rock bottom twice in your veterinary life?
How do you even HIT rock bottom twice?
As a veterinarian, we know that we have a much higher suicide rate than other professions, and we intellectually kind of “get” it.
But how do you know that YOU suddenly are at risk? What are the thoughts and feelings to look out for - how can you catch it in time?
Where do you turn for help - and how do you help yourself?
Ceri Lewis is a veterinary surgeon and mum of 3 that has been to the edge and back twice in her life. She very generously shares her story so we can learn from it, and inspire us to practice more self awareness, self compassion, and seek help in time.
Listen to this episode to learn about the signs that you might be dangerously near a cliff, and how to pull yourself back in time.
It might just save your life.
