Rising Above: Chloe Bisson's Journey from Success to Self-Discovery
This week Dawn and Tracy welcome back Chloe Bisson. Chloe had a meteoric rise in her career, becoming the director of an international company by the age of 26. But once she achieved her dream, she was left feeling empty and ill. Initially visiting the doctor to try and ease her stomach pain, she was shocked when she was diagnosed with severe clinical depression. After a period of denial, Chloe decided to tackle her illness head on, which led to some incredible revelations.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Chloe talks about her initial diagnosis of depression and how she found herself in disbelief and denial, because, as she discovered, depression is not what she thought it was.
- Choe talks about how her diagnosis made her look at her life and reevaluate some of her lifestyle choices, and how this may never have happened if she had not received her diagnosis.
- Tracy muses on the idea of labels when it comes to mental health and how they might not be the most appropriate way of helping people.
- Chloe shares the story of how she met a nurse that helped her finally understand her condition, which allowed her to make positive changes and face it head on.
