“Back from the Abyss (BFTA) is a beautiful podcast that centers on the human experience and the resiliency that we, as humans, can summon in our most difficult moments. Dr. Heacock is a gifted therapist and psychiatrist (a rare combination) and in this podcast a beautiful and empathetic interviewer. He combines deep listening and thoughtful questions to create a space for his guests to lean into and share their lived experience through pain and toward recovery. As a listener you share in what feels like a cathartic journey for each guest who has gone through an incredible process of self discovery and healing.
I love how Dr. Heacock looks for poignant moments of growth in each of his guest’s journey. He makes a point to highlight and celebrate the hard work that leads to important milestones on their path toward mental health and wellbeing.
BFTA continues to improve each year. Now, in the fourth season, I find myself listening to it every time a new episode drops.
It is obvious that the team at BFTA spent a lot of time surveying listeners and taking their requests and suggestions to heart. In addition to human centered stories of individual journeys, Dr. Heacock brings in thoughtful and passionate experts. Together they cover a wide range of topics form ADHD and supporting young people in school, emerging treatments involving psychedelics and trauma, how psychiatric medications work, living with autism, and so much more.
As a mother of 3 teenagers ranging from 13-18 I appreciated the recent episode explaining why many psychiatric illnesses’ occur for the first time in young adults and ways to prevent or minimize negative impacts.
Thank you for producing such a thoughtful podcast.
Keep up the great work!!!!!”
