The New Normal

Listen now

Description

I was in a state of such flux. Was I returning to work or was I not? And if I wasn't, what the hell was I going to do with myself? And the answer to that was of course, accept what you can't control and take control of what you can. Once I let that go, that's when the anxiety really started to lift, and I started to say, “Actually, I'm still okay”. Dr Andy Kilov joins Piers for their third conversation about Piers’ recovery journey. They look at Piers’ mental health, what victories look like now and the new normal that they are working towards. Featuring speech pathologist Dr Andy Kilov. Australia's Stroke Foundation is a proud friend of 404: Brain Not Found.
