On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants to share their journey with others. Today’s former participant is Cassie. Cassie shares their experience navigating adolescence with a bipolar diagnosis, a prep school environment, and complicated treatment interventions that left them wary of the very systems designed to help them. Through candid reflection, they opens up about what it’s taken to rebuild trust — in professionals, in structure, and in themself. Their story is one of personal growth, hard-earned insight, and a gradual return to balance on their own terms.

NOTE: The podcasts in this series can include sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, hospitalizations, psychotic episodes, and other traumatic experiences which include parts of the treatment journey. No topic is off limits and not all stories are positive but they are real, raw, and transparent.
