The podcasts will hopefully give you a flavour of how mental health affects us all, and those that are suffering with mental health or maybe scared to reach out will realize that actually it's okay and I can reach out for support and I can take that first step, which is always the hardest step to do.
Ever wondered how someone transitions from military life to finding peace through sports? Matt, a former RAF serviceman, opens up about his journey in the first episode of 'Mental Health and More'. After being medically discharged with PTSD, depression, and anxiety, Matt faced a challenging road to recovery. But through the Invictus Games and a newfound passion for archery, he discovered the healing power of sports. This episode isn't just about his struggles; it's a celebration of victories and resilience.
Matt also dives into the therapies that helped him along the way, such as CBT, EMDR, and 3MDR. He shares how mindfulness techniques played a crucial role in his recovery process. Family support and respite breaks were also key elements in his journey, offering much-needed relief and encouragement. Listeners can look forward to future episodes featuring guests who will share their own mental health stories and coping strategies.
There will also be Q&A sessions with Johnny, Matt's co-host, providing answers to listeners' burning questions. Whether you're dealing with mental health challenges yourself or supporting someone who is, Matt's story offers hope and practical advice. Tune in to be inspired by a tale of overcoming adversity through the power of sports and therapy.
