Heal With Harriet

I am so excited to share this episode with you guys! My husband and best friend Paul Marchant is on the podcast today as we sit down and discuss what it's like from a caregiver's perspective seeing somebody you love go through psych med withdrawal and the process of healing from prescribed harm.We start at the beginning of my psych med journey and how Paul supported me along the way, advocated for me when I was too sick to advocate for myself and helped me get through the days when I felt like I just wanted to end it all.He was not always educated about psych med withdrawal and healing process, and it took time, a lot of patience, self education and love to support me the way that he did while going through my healing journey.I could not have done it without him and this episode is for those who are going through the process of tapering or healing from psych meds and the ones who are walking beside them through this journey and want to support them in the best way possible. We all deserve to have our loved ones walk beside us and hold our hand during this scary journey that is healing from prescribed harm. I hope this episode will allow you to open up a dialogue with your loved ones as to how they can better support you and why nobody would ever choose to go through the horrific process that is healing from psych meds.I hope you get some value out of this episode and it would mean the world to me if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave me a review on itunes. You can follow me on Instagram here ====> https://www.instagram.com/healwithharriet

In this episode I dive into why we should be embracing this time of stillness to go inward and work to heal ourselves and thereby heal the collective consciousness of the planet.If you can focus on what the Coronavirus is here to teach us and how it is here to heal the world and bring us together out of our rugged individualism as a nation it can help with the fear of the unknown surrounding this pandemic. We as a human species are being called to evolve and expand our collective consciousness. The message the world has been trying to send us has been largely ignored until this point and they had to reach catastrophic levels to get us to finally listen. I hope you find this podcast helpful and I implore you all to use this time wisely and realize this pandemic is happening for us and not to us. This virus is a powerful catalyst for human evolution. How this pandemic will ultimately manifest depends on whether or not we recognize what it is revealing to us about ourselves. Stay safe, practice social distancing and self quarantine depending on what your current state is telling you to do. Show love and appreciation for all of the healthcare workers right now and those performing essential jobs like grocery store workers and government employees, you guys are the real heroes.I love you all and we will get through this time and be better for it.Follow me on Instagram here ==> https://www.instagram.com/healwithharriet

Last week I talked to you guys about my experience and journey with Psych meds and Psychiatry in general, but I didn't get into the nitty gritty of the actual symptoms I experienced while tapering from and healing from benzodiazepines, in my case Klonopin.As I now am coaching others and helping them during their healing process I hear people experiencing the same or extremely similar symptoms every day and I know that it was reassuring for me while going through withdrawal to know that I wasn't alone in terms of the symptoms I was experiencing.I share what my main symptoms were during this process in the hopes of normalizing them for all you, and keep in mind these symptoms were a part of my personal healing journey. It does not mean that you will experience them or that you won't experience symptoms that I did not.As long as you have been cleared by a doctor to make sure your health is good you can chalk up all of these "withdrawal symptoms" as signs of healing.Other people are out there and have experienced the same symptoms that you are right now and have healed, and are now living beautiful and full lives free of symptoms.I hope you guys like this episode, please subscribe and leave a good review to get the word out there about the dangers of psych meds, we are all withdrawal warriors and you will all heal!Follow me on Instagram to learn more about how I healed from Psych Med withdrawal and the things you can do to support your body during this healing process https://www.instagram.com/healwithharriet/

Welcome! I am so excited to bring you my first episode of the Heal With Harriet Podcast! In this episode I share with you my history and relationship with psychiatric medication and mental health, my withdrawal experience, and why I am dedicated speaking out against prescribed harm.In this episode I dive into my initial diagnosis with OCD when I was 12 and how that began my journey with psychiatry and how that brought me to where I am now in my life, being a voice  for those that are not able to advocate for themselves because they are too sick and damaged from taking psychiatric medication as prescribed.And most importantly I am sharing what this experience has taught me, how I made it through withdrawal when I wanted to just give up, and why you are going to heal from psych meds, wake back up to your own soul, and live a life that is more magical than you could ever imagine.I am so excited to share my healing journey with you all and I hope this podcast serves as proof that you too can heal from psychiatry and reclaim your life. Follow me on my Instagram to stay connected =====> https://www.instagram.com/healwithharriet
