    Sue was my support worker, she was the first person I came into contact with within services and I can put my hand on my heart and say she saved my life. I’m almost 2 years sober but she still calls me to check in. The love and thanks I have for this woman will never feel enough! I’m so proud of her ❤

    I remember being shut down when talking about neurodiveristy both on the lived experience panel at Gambling Commission but in and around the gambling harm debate as well. Neurodiveristy has been entirely overlooked in the White Paper imo. It's very disheartening.

    Interesting podcast and thanks to Nathan for sharing his story. The one thing that jumped out at me is having the family support, love and care (Nathan moved back home for 18 months) , that is such a big thing. Otherwise you're really struggling to keep head above water battling all these demons. I've repeatedly tried to ask for help, reach out to people who live a life that I aspire too, and it hasn't worked for me yet. I'm talking in terms of moving my life forward (not the addiction itself) as with everything circumstances, environment are a huge factor. I'm in a much better place today and I am very grateful to certain people who show me love and care but in terms of moving forward with purpose still a way to go yet. Well done to Nathan and more power to him in living a great life. 🎉

    I think it’s important to understand that a very high percentage of psychologists and psychotherapists have also had the Lived experience of trauma that drew them into that particular profession. They also realise the benefit of going through therapy and want to give back in the same way. Your story is powerful and will help so many understand what kind of life is possible for them too.

    Love it..... I think you should improve title, add end screen and add more ranking tags (According to your Content) on video tag section.Also need to share your video on different social media sites.Then your videos can easily reach out to your lovely audience...Your dedication and video concept for your channel are truly impressive.you're doing quite well.However, your content is not reaching the desired number of viewers....I believe that by doing so, all your needs will be met..,.And all the best for your journey on youtube......
