In this episode of The Seizure Turnaround, Lana speaks with Janis Shoesmith, a former pediatric nurse diagnosed with functional seizures following a traumatic assault at work. Janis shares her journey from a confident and sociable nurse to grappling with PTSD and frequent seizures, and her eventual path to recovery through psychological therapy and personal resilience. Janis opens up about the challenges of receiving a diagnosis, the long wait for specialised treatment, and the emotional toll on her and her family. She emphasises the importance of finding the right kind of support, particularly from professionals knowledgeable about functional seizures, and discusses the significant role of CBT in her recovery. Despite the setbacks, Janis’s story is one of hope and determination, encouraging listeners to seek timely help and remain optimistic about recovery. The episode explores the profound impact of compassionate healthcare, the power of personal and professional support, and the gradual but achievable journey towards wellness.
Presented by Clinical Neuropsychologist and researcher, Dr Lana Higson.
