Bipolar Almost Broke Me | Chris Fraser

The suicide rate for people living with bipolar is between 10 and 30 times higher than the general population, accounting for up to a quarter of all suicides in Australia.

Research shows up to 60% of those with the condition will make at least one attempt on their life. Father of three, Chris Fraser is one of them.

He experienced multiple extended bi-polar episodes in his early and mid-thirties, when months of mania were followed by even longer periods of severe depression – throwing his life into chaos.

With therapy, the right mix of medication and the support of his family, Chris has clawed his way out of a seemingly bottomless abyss; emerging with his own blueprint of how to manage bi-polar and make life worth living.

Being Gay Doesn't Define Me | Mark Cawdron-White 1:02:33

منذ 5 weeks1:02:33

1:02:33

Mark suspected he was gay from the time he was a young boy and had it confirmed by the time he made it to high school. Raised in a conservative, religious household, he was conditioned to believe that being gay was wrong and that belief, coupled with fear of his parents’ reaction kept him in the closet till he was 28. When he did come out, those fears were realised. His parents weren’t supportive and the most difficult time in his life followed; but he was finally free to be himself. A successful entrepreneur, business owner and car enthusiast, Mark’s proudly not defined by his sexuality, which he says is just part of who he is, not his whole world. He’s got what some may say are controversial opinions about being part of the LGBTQIA+ community and he’s not afraid to call it how he sees it. This is Mark Cawdron-White...…

Not Your Average Psychologist | Dr Simon Tyler 1:04:50

منذ 6 weeks1:04:50

1:04:50

Imagine if your psychologist was that rough looking bloke you met down the pub who gave surprisingly solid advice - that's the kind of vibe you get from Simon Tyler. Simo's a clinical psych and a mentally healthy workplace consultant, he also cuts his own hair and does an awful job of it... His therapy style's shaped by his early career in construction and a lifetime of his own mental health struggles. He's straight up, pragmatic and stands right alongside his clients as someone who's been there and sometimes still is. We talk about how to reframe your thinking and celebrate the little wins in life amongst all the financial pressure and global instability, to avoid hopelessness. We also get into how he's making therapy work for men, mental health culture in the workplace, and where we need to go from here as a society to really see some progress. This is Dr Simon Tyler...…

Life Before and After Prison | James Culley 1:04:43

منذ 7 weeks1:04:43

1:04:43

When we think of a typical drug addict, we think of someone who turned to drugs in an attempt to cope with trauma and often childhood abuse. That wasn't the case for Culley. He describes having the perfect childhood, growing up with great parents who gave him all the love he could've asked for; but that didn't stop him getting on the ice and every other drug you can think of - choosing a life of chaos. Dealing to feed his addiction and his ego, believing himself untouchable, Culley lived that life for a decade, before it all caught up with him. Jail was the wakeup call that finally snapped him out of his toxic mindset, starting the long overdue process of self-discovery with a sober mind. Now 8 years clean, Culley's living an honest life as his authentic self, working for everything he has in a real job, building himself up and doing his best to stay on top of his mental health with the help of therapy and tools gained from the hard lessons he's learned. This is James Culley...…

1:21:00

It’s an unstable time to be a young man right now… The world is rapidly evolving around us, job markets are changing, traditional gender roles are shifting; polarising content served by our algorithms is pushing us ever deeper into echo chambers of opinion and the social discourse that men are the problem looms in the background.

Young Men at a Crossroads | Dr Zac Seidler 1:03:11

The past few years have been a tumultuous time for masculinity… We’ve witnessed the furore whipped up by the manosphere, and the fear that we’re raising a generation of Andrew Tate clones… We’ve had Primary prevention programs brought in to schools, spurred by the will to reduce Australia’s appalling rates of domestic violence. Men under 30 just played a major role voting Donald Trump back into power, influenced by his appearances on the world’s most popular male-led podcasts. And swirling around all of this social discourse is one pervasive word that’s stuck to young men like a curse - toxic With me to talk through this and more is psychologist and Movember Director, Dr Zac Seidler, a preeminent researcher and thought leader working to evolve men’s mental health in Australia.

Grief can take you to a dark place you never imagined, especially when it's wrapped in guilt. Drew spent a long time believing if he'd done more, his brother Mat might still be alive...As a teenager and an adult, Mat was often teetering on the edge, dealing with his inner turmoil by shutting down and keeping everyone out. For more than a decade Drew knew something wasn't right with his brother, but couldn't penetrate the walls he put up. Drew self-destructed after Mat's death, using drinking and drugs to numb himself into oblivion, with ugly consequences. Finding purpose, deepening his connection with his mum and meeting his wife has made space for much brighter chapters in his story; all written down in his book, Until The End .

The Cost of Being What Other People Want You to Be | Niko Diamond 1:00:25

No matter how hard he tried, Nik never felt good enough in any area of his life. Always craving respect and approval from his father that wasn’t forthcoming, he grew up believing any love he was to receive was conditional on what he could deliver. Nik manufactured a version of himself based on his idea of what the people around him wanted him to be; and spent years in the cycle of escaping reality on the weekends. The journey from self-hatred to self-love has been a painful and challenging one, but so much better than staying stuck. This is Niko Diamond...…

Carving Out Connection | Benjamin Roberts 47:43

The quality of our mental health is intertwined with our sense of connection to each other and the world around us. Humans are social creatures; we need community wherever we can find it, and being lonely makes us more likely to be mentally ill. Ben is a musician on a mission to create connection his own way. Since April, he's been taking his guitar down every single street in the Adelaide CBD singing and striking up conversations while raising money for charity. Ben's got his own mental health story, and is so passionate about that he's taken the Concrete Connection Project on as a full time job, without the pay This is Benjamin Roberts...…
