Mental Health Warriors

Brent Williams is the author of Out of the Woods—a graphic memoir about his journey dealing with depression. He chose a graphic novel format, as those suffering from the disease tend to become cognitively impaired—finding it more difficult to read and focus on a page of text. In this episode Brent I talk about: The fact that he was a human-rights lawyer helping others but felt so depressed + what made him get help Misconceptions & how crucial it is for loved ones to have a true understanding of the disease How journal writing helped him along his painful journey and enabled him to cope and heal Overcoming stigma and the things that helped him overcome depression the most I loved this conversation with Brent.  He is a kind and gentle man who has been through some very dark times.  He has created something truly beautiful with Out of the Woods.   "Warriors aren't always the ones who win, but they are always the ones who fight" Learn more about my new coaching program, Serving Powerfully,
