Season 2, Episode 21

We talk through what PTSD recovery looks like on an ordinary week, from loneliness and broken dreams to the quiet pride of noticing real progress. We share a trigger test that goes better than expected, plus the small routines, friendships, and boundaries that help us stay steady.
• asking you to send in burn-in questions for Mel’s upcoming takeover interview
• linking “Boulevard Of Broken Dreams” to the loneliness and grief of a PTSD diagnosis
• watching a crash documentary despite it being a trigger and noticing no nightmares or anxiety spike
• taking a real win seriously as proof of progress after years of work
• entering a quilt and cushions in a Blue Mountains competition and making a Sydney day trip out of it
• managing a stubborn knee injury while keeping expectations realistic
• needing solitude more after diagnosis and feeling the strain of a busy house of teenagers
• ending on the idea that our freedom lives in how we choose to react
