10: Poem — Trauma, Depression — The Hidden Achievement

Reading and discussion of my poem 'The Hidden Achievement', talking about the hidden achievements day-to-day and over the longer-term, when suffering with mental ill health such as depression or anxiety after traumas. I talk about how these 'hidden achievements' are not always so obvious— to yourself or to others— but how recognising them is important to resilience, optimism, motivation. Discussion topics:

• Trauma
• Depression
• ADHD
• Anxiety
