A Question of Ethics - With Dr Liz Evans

In this interview I speak with Richard McCann, a professional speaker and author whose story about the murder of his mother Wilma is currently being portrayed in the ITV series The Long Shadow.

What it takes to live with trauma that impacts you on such a deep level that you can never go back to life as it was before or live your life as it might have been?
