One dark night, overcome with sadness, the little unicorn packed her bags to leave the tower for heaven but she was stopped in her tracks by the Grim Reaper. “Unless you speak your words in your own true voice to the Lords and Ladies of the land, you will never find happiness, I give to you the gift of self expression” he said.
MY MENTAL HEALTH JOURNEY / X FACTOR SOB STORY
(aka how I became a qualified weirdo:)
In my final year of university, I was diagnosed with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia & ADHD followed by Depression and Anxiety 6 months later.
In 2017 I graduated with a BA & MA in Musical Theatre in the midst of a suicidal breakdown and couldn’t even sit in the audience of a theatre without having an anxiety attack, never mind attend an audition.
However, accessing NHS talking therapies was impossible as a self-employed freelancer on short term contracts in different locations, I was never anywhere long enough to make it through the waiting list.
After 2 years of going round in circles with the system I ended up losing jobs, friends and houses until I received help from BAPAM (British association of performing arts medicine) who helped me obtain a grant from Help Musicians UK.
Just as I started becoming comfortable as a teaching assistant in 2019, I was diagnosed with BPD (borderline personality disorder), PTSD & Hoarding Disorder. This made me realise I didn’t want to give up on musical theatre after all and that I’d regret taking a full-time salaried position in a school if something didn’t change.
I moved back to Newcastle and started a DBT skills group (dialectical behavioural therapy)
Once I was more emotionally regulated and self -aware I started enjoying mindfulness and became hyper focused on creative mental health solutions and bought the domain for Cognitive Behavioural Theatre.
The following year I was diagnosed with Autism.
Until then I had no idea I experienced the world differently and this realisation ultimately triggered a spiritual awakening!
(I was totally agnostic up until then)
This kick started the crazy cliche journey of holistic energy healing, law of attraction and surrendering to a higher power. I wrote my debut album MIND FULL, started working as a performing arts teacher again to overcome my PTSD and started a psychology master’s degree.
After attending a life changing spiritual retreat in 2022, I came to the conclusion that I’m far too neurodivergent to pass such an academic course, I fell in love with energy and sound healing and felt the pull to holistic therapy instead.
Just over 2 years later I now work for the same spiritual retreats delivering sound baths as an energy healer and workshop facilitator.
Thanks to the hippie community antics and the mental health toolkit of DBT skills, I’m finally coming out of my 7 year hibernation to incorporate my niche talents, neurodiverse findings and general good vibes into this website of quirky offerings as I attempt to make a living on this strange planet.
The last few years for me have been a beautiful rollercoaster of change.
After getting my Theology degree at Bible College, I was the lead pastor of a Pentecostal Church in Northern Ireland.
On paper, my middle class life was perfect. My wife and I owned a lovely house, had good jobs, nice cars. I ticked every box that society desires in a citizen.
Behind the scenes, however, was a deep change. After receiving a phone call to say that the former pastor who retired in his seventies is under an active police investigation for a wide range of historic abuse.
In the space of a week, I had not only lost my marriage, but due to the dogmatic values of the denominations leadership, the seperation meant that I also lost my job and career.
This dark night of the soul shook the foundations and the very assumptions I had built my life upon.
My spiritual transformation and acceptance of undaignosed ADHD has been one of the hardest and beneficial processes of my life.
My mind and spirit are healthier now than it ever has been, thanks to holistic therapy.
