#18 - Losing Both Parents as a Child
Joe tells his story of losing both his mother and father to suicide before he was 11 years old. After over 30 years of coping with a generalised anxiety disorder, panic attacks, a divorce and the stress of being a professional business man, Joe and I discuss important areas of mental health, business and suicide loss, including:
- The significance of trauma after suicide loss.
- The needs of teenagers when faced with suicide loss.
- The physical effects of depression.
- How Joe coped as a teenager through snowboarding, friendships and music.
- How the COVID lockdown helped Joe make healthy life choices in business.
- How Joe managed his panic attacks.
- Empathic leadership.
A story illuminating the possible effects of suicide loss on a child and a growing man.
