The first victims of the Holocaust were the disabled and the mentally ill. If I lived in nazi Germany I would have had to wear an inverted black triangle. If we allow unchecked hatred for one group of people (the Jews) then who is next. This is not an existential thought problem, it is history. I stand with Israel. 📚 GET THE BOOK https://www.amazon.com.au/stores/Mark-Brosnan/author/B0B5RRFY4F/all...

What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and the last ten years of your life had simply vanished? Your family were strangers. Your home was unfamiliar. The country you lived in made no sense. And the last thing you remembered was hiding for your life during a genocide. That's exactly what happened to one man I worked with in the 1990s. I thought I was there to help him rebuild his life. Inste...

This is one of the hardest conversations I’ve ever put behind a microphone. My daughter came to me with questions — real ones, heavy ones — and there was nowhere to hide from them. So we sat down, we opened the door to all of it, and we went exactly where the truth took us. Let’s dive in, and you’ll hear what unfolded. 👍 Like | 💬 Comment | 🔁 Share | 🔔 Subscribe for more stories about trauma, r...

I tried something different: Lisa and Scott Brearley from Soulmates and Suitcases reached out, so I decided to switch roles and be the one answering the questions. I really enjoyed speaking with Lisa and Scott. The conversation was deeply meaningful to me. If you want to hear me answer the questions for a change, this is the place to go https://youtu.be/KDwJA3IAYsw More ways to connect with Lisa a...

father and daughter talk mental illness and addiction | Mark MI Words You could be thinking that as an interviewer who has done over 500 interviews on live radio, spoken in front of thousands of people and also done 350 podcast episodes - that I wouldn't really get nervous before I do an interview.

All books take a lot of time and effort to write. But how can it possibly 20 years from start to finish? When you put trauma on the table — real trauma — and add a CPTSD diagnosis, the delay makes sense. I had to get steady enough to face what the writing was dredging up. The truth is, when I started this book, I didn’t even know I was carrying half the pain that eventually surfaced. BUMWIPER is a...

The saddest truth about suicide is the one truth that people who succeed in taking their own life can never know... The pain of their death will live on in those left behind- forever. Their death will not end the pian. It lives on in those left behind as frustration, anger, sadness and above all guilt. Guilt that they weren't able to be there for you. Guilt that it may have been the survivors...

As men, we have often been trained to try to ignore the pain of grief, the scars of a battle with cancer, the trauma of our own mental illness, and to never ask the big questions.

What does stand-up comedy and suicide have in common you might ask? You may answer that only a lunatic would do it! Today I ask my guest, comedian and suicide‑prevention advocate Frank King, to explain how his two seemingly unrelated careers—professional stand‑up comedy and suicide‑prevention speaking—intersect and inform one another. So, is it too soon to laugh about suicide? When can we laugh ab...
