JAKE | What I've learnt from therapy

Guilt and shame defined Jake’s life for over a decade. He couldn’t see past his own self-loathing.
When he asked for help, everything changed. And while talking was hard, it was nothing compared to the anguish and loneliness of silence.
From a place of hopelessness, Jake has come to accept that he's worth recovering for.
This story was filmed on Wurundjeri Country, and we pay respect to the traditional owners of these lands.
Produced by Good Grief Productions.
About Beyond Blue
Established in October 2000, Beyond Blue initially focused on raising awareness of depression and reducing the associated stigma. As our knowledge and impact on people's lives broadened, through research and community engagement, we added the key issue of anxiety conditions in 2011 and, more recently, suicide prevention to our core purpose.
