After 2 years of hosting The Deep and holding space for others, I'm ready to share with you one of the traumas that I lived through. When I was younger, I became a victim of domestic violence. I was manipulated, isolated, physically and sexually abused until I didn't know who I was anymore. But I got out. Somehow. And this is my story.Sean Szeps holds this conversation. Someone I trust and tell all my secrets to.Please note. During this chat I may sound guarded or at times unemotional. I know that this is still a trauma response. Because of legal reasons I can't reveal the identity of my abuser so some things need to stay private. It makes this a difficult conversation because I can't share everything that I want to. What I am doing is sharing the full extent of this abusive relationship for the first time ever.Content warning; This episode discusses domestic abuse, physical and sexual abuse, and suicide.

episode 7: The Truth About Psychedelics
Psychedelics. You're probably thinking about party drugs right now, but when used medicinally with proper supervision and alongside the correct therapies, drugs like psilocybin can be hugely successful at treating depression, PTSD and other mental health conditions.
Tania DeJong went to the Netherlands to experience this treatment first hand, and she says it changed her life. She is now an advocate for legalising this type of treatment in Australia.
Please note: This episode is discussing legal trials of the drug in a medical setting. We are not condoning or encouraging the use of this drug outside of that setting.
