In the first episode of a new series I talk to Kaeli about her experience of sexual violence as a teenager and the ways this trauma has affected her into her twenties. We discuss the biochemistry of trauma, the innumerable ways it manifests both physically and emotionally, and the coping mechanisms (both successful and otherwise) that she has learned over several years. Among the most successful, Kaeli shares the joy and power she has gained through rugby.

I talk to Tom about his experience of psychosis, arrest, and eventual hospitalisation. He shares the long path that eventually led to a bipolar diagnosis, and discusses the impact both mania and depression had on his relationships and sense of self. Now an actor, we talk about the strength that comes from understanding your body as well as your mind, and how learning to connect with other's emotions helped him accept his own. Oh, and afro dance.
