This is an episode I've been wanting to do for a long time! We've heard first hand experiences from people suffering from mental illness, professionals, parents and siblings but this episode is from the perspective of a child. This week I speak with Daniella. Daniella is a journalist that grew up in a house with mental illness. Not only did she live with an ill parent but her family also immigrated to Canada when she was a child. She explains how these challenges affected her own mental health growing up and how they still affect her today. Daniella's story is relatable, riveting and well told, so much so that I decided to make it a two part episode. Stay tuned next week for the conclusion of Growing Up Silenced; Growing Up Around Mental Illness. Topics include trauma, borderline personality disorder, addiction, anger, PTSD, generational trauma FOLLOW BUNNY HUGS AND MENTAL HEALTH on Facebook ⁠https://www.facebook.com/Bunny-Hugs-and-Mental-Health-103055408571486⁠ on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/bunnyhugspodcast/?hl=en⁠ TikTok ⁠https://tiktok.com/@bunnyhugspodcast/⁠ Check out my children book at ⁠https://www.amazon.ca/Sometimes-Daddy-Cries-Todd-Rennebohm/dp/0228834678⁠ Bunny Hugs and Mental Health is currently on the Top Ten Best Canadian Mental Health podcasts list! ⁠https://blog.feedspot.com/canadian_mental_health_podcasts/⁠ And the Top 100 Best Mental Health Podcasts on the internet! ⁠https://blog.feedspot.com/mental_health_podcasts/⁠ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
