Reparenting Myself: The Fight for My Own Care

What happens when the path to healing is not offered to you, but has to be forged by you? This episode moves beyond the simple choice to seek therapy, into the raw reality of being told there was "nothing to be done" for my trauma-induced neurological condition. I share the isolating experience of being discharged from NHS care with only a vague hope that my brain might "decide" to heal, and the daunting choice I faced: accept that prognosis, or become the fierce steward and advocate for my own mind and body. This is the story of reparenting myself through private oxygen therapy, infrared treatments, and counseling I had to pay for, not as a deviation from faith, but as one of its most demanding acts of trust and perseverance.
