このコンテンツについて

 Bernadine Fox brings a rare and powerful combination of lived experience, long-term disability rights advocacy, and creative insight to her role as host and producer of ReThreading Madness, the award-winning radio show and podcast that dares to shift how we think about mental health.

A recipient of the 2022 Courage to Come Back Award, Bernadine is a white settler of Scottish, Irish, and French heritage with a familial connection to the Tsuut'ina nation. She has spent over 30 years advocating for those with lived experience of mental health challenges including survivors of trauma and therapy harm. She is an intersectional feminist, artist, and author of Coming to Voice: Surviving an Abusive Therapist—a memoir that confronts the devastating misuse of power in therapeutic relationships.

Bernadine is not a clinician, but she is a deeply informed mental health advocate with firsthand knowledge of trauma, CPTSD, and disability. Her background includes decades of work as a support worker for survivors of severe childhood trauma, a trauma consultant, and public speaker. She has led expressive arts groups in collaboration with Richmond Mental Health and Gallery Gachet, where she also served on the board and helped publish The Ear magazine. She has served on the board of such organizations as Kickstart (Disability Arts and Culture) which focused on breaking down barriers to creative access for people with disabilities.

What sets Bernadine apart as a radio host is her unwavering commitment to telling the truth—even when it's uncomfortable. She doesn't shy away from difficult conversations; she invites them. With compassion and clarity, she brings forward voices that are often silenced, challenges harmful narratives, and explores the messy realities of mental health, trauma, and recovery.

ReThreading Madness is more than a show. Under Bernadine's guidance, it's a platform for unfiltered, survivor-centered dialogue—one that refuses to pathologize trauma and instead builds community through shared truth. RTM won the Breaking Barriers CRABO award through the NCRA.

Bernadine currently lives in the forest with two cats, raises her grandchild, and continues to create, speak, and advocate for a world where mental health care is ethical, accessible, and just.

  • Reclaiming the Self After Narcissistic Harm and Boundary Collapse

    Reclaiming the Self After Narcissistic Harm and Boundary Collapse
    2025/12/30
    Reclaiming the Self After Narcissistic Harm and Boundary Collapse

    In this episode, we explore what boundaries really mean when survival, burnout, and long-term relational harm are part of the story. Leanne Wildly speaks from lived experience about healing from narcissistic abuse rooted in both childhood and adult relationships. She reflects on how violations become normalized early, how spiritual and caregiving roles can complicate recognition of harm, and what it takes to rebuild a sense of self after long periods of emotional control, gaslighting, and erasure that includes systems that are not trauma-informed. Sheryl Green is the author of You Had Me At No: How Setting Healthy Boundaries Helps You Banish Burnout, Repair Relationships, and Save Your Sanity. She joins the program to talk about boundary depletion. The slow erosion of self that happens when people spend years managing others’ emotions, over-functioning in families or workplaces, and saying yes at the cost of their own wellbeing. Drawing from her own experience of severe burnout and recovery, Sheryl shares how boundaries are not about becoming rigid or confrontational, but about becoming rooted. Clear, grounded, and self-led. She discusses practical ways people can begin reclaiming time, energy, and identity without guilt or collapse. Together, this conversation examines the intersection between boundary collapse and abuse, especially for helpers, caregivers, and people socialized to be accommodating. Rather than framing boundaries as self-help tactics, this episode looks at them as a necessary foundation for survival, recovery, and integrity. It asks what it means to stop shrinking, stop over-explaining, and begin living from a place that actually feels like your own. This is a conversation about clarity after confusion, rootedness after depletion, and learning to honor yourself without abandoning connection. Music: Shari Ulrich

  • Homecoming: Ovid Thomas Reclaims History on the Poundmaker Cree Nation

    Homecoming: Ovid Thomas Reclaims History on the Poundmaker Cree Nation
    2025/12/29
    Homecoming: Ovid Thomas Reclaims History on the Poundmaker Cree Nation

    This week on ReThreading Madness, Bernadine speaks with Ovid Thomas, a Sixties Scoop survivor and social media creator known for his educational content on Cree history and the Poundmaker Cree Nation. Taken from his family at just two weeks old, Ovid grew up in a non-Indigenous home in northern Manitoba, facing abuse, neglect, and systemic discrimination.

    Ovid shares his journey of survival—from enduring racial bias in education and being falsely accused of cheating, to challenging policies that barred First Nations students from university-track courses. He opens up about how trauma, partial deafness, and years of misdiagnosis shaped his early life, and how returning to his community became a path toward healing.

    Together, Bernadine and Ovid explore his reconnection with the Poundmaker Cree Nation, where he discovered family, belonging, and cultural roots long denied to him. They discuss his efforts to correct mistranslations of speeches by Poundmaker and Big Bear, his research into colonial distortions of Cree history, and his ongoing fight against medical and institutional racism.

    This conversation moves from the personal to the political—linking Ovid’s lived experience with the
    broader legacy of colonial systems that continue to harm Indigenous peoples. It’s a story of truthtelling, reclamation, and resilience.
