008: Grief, Early Years and Coping - with Chloe Smith

What experience can you look back on as being pivotal in the game of life?  How did you feel at the time? How do you feel about it now? Life experience can come in all shapes and sizes - grief, challenge, failed expectations.  Coronavirus has changed many people's direction. Chloe has faced many challenges in her 27 years of life including losing two loved ones to COVID-19, becoming a  carer for her mother, and holding down a stressful job as a veterinary nurse. Chloe talks with us about her experiences, her coping strategies and how this has impacted her mental wellness.

 

Best Quotes:

‘’I've always struggled. I think I've always struggled kind of with validation of thoughts like is this right? Am I doing this right? Am I feeling this right? Is somebody going to judge me for this? And I think, at home, we did get judged a lot.’’

 

‘’I think you maybe mirror it back on yourself to corroborate maybe a belief about yourself that you have that I wouldn't have about you, and I suspect nobody in the whole world would have about you…‘’

 

‘’The thing I can control is how clean stuff is around me so, it's like a control if my rooms tidy it’s because I've controlled that. All the animals are clean, the cars are clean… it’s because it's something I can control.’’
