This Is An Emergency. With Laura Dockrill
Listen now
Description
This week I spoke to the children’s author, illustrator and writer Laura Dockrill. Her book, What Have I Done covers her experience of post-partum psychosis, feeling suicidal and, eventually, getting well. We discuss all of these things in the episode so it carriesa trigger warning: mentions of suicide, psychosis and mental illness.
