In this episode...
Stuart had always been the stereotypical burly police officer. When he wasn’t busy breaking up fights in the town centre, he was tackling his rugby teammates on the pitch. He was steadfast, reliable. He was Superman.
Then one day, he was called to deal with a serious road traffic accident. For a while afterwards, he thought he was keeping it together—but the harrowing experience became a ticking time bomb for his mental health. When the emotions finally reached the surface, guilt, self-doubt, and anxiety clouded his thoughts. He needed support.
You’ll hear how Stuart finally opened up about his own mental health challenges, how he came to terms with his diagnoses of severe PTSD, depression, and anxiety, and Stuart’s advice for confessed blokes uncertain about seeking support.
Heads up for listeners: this episode features a discussion of a serious road traffic accident.
