Talking Point Shorts A Leap from the Tree - a Childhood Trauma Revisited

Ever wondered how a childhood trauma shapes your life? In this gripping episode, I recount a pivotal moment from my childhood that changed my life forever. At just 10 years old, I fell 20-30 feet from a tree, narrowly escaping death by the slimmest of margins. Born with Bilateral Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, a rare condition affecting my vision and associated with hypoglycaemia and intellectual disabilities, I’ve faced numerous challenges. Join me as I delve into the harrowing experience and the long-term impacts of the fall, which left me questioning whether my memory and language difficulties are linked to the head injury or my congenital condition. This episode marks a new departure for me, as I turn the microphone on my own story instead of my usual reporting on global accessibility and inclusion issues. Learn about the resilience, uncertainty, and strength that has defined my journey. 🎙️ Listen to: A Leap from the Tree" 🌳 Email me: [e-mail] Podcast Main: www.talkingpoint.site
