On a late October afternoon in 1985, Susan Berg joined her parents and her 16-year-old brother on a family boat trip in Victoria's Western Port Bay.It was the family's second time out in the newly purchased boat. A relaxing afternoon on the water.But within mere hours of entering the bay, Susan Berg's life would change forever.As the sun started to set, the family began to head back to the shore to return to their car and trailer. Within minutes Susan's brother, Bill, noticed that water was quickly filling the boat.Soon the family was desperately clinging to the hull of the boat in the chilly water.Tragically her brother father and mother died trying to swim to safety. Susan survived.“I blamed myself for Mum and Dad and Bill's death. I was the person driving the boat at the time that it sank. The fact that I lived and they died, it just felt like it was all my fault,” she recalled.“A few weeks after the accident, we were getting lots of letters from people who had heard about the accident in the newspaper. I got a letter, which said: ‘You f***ing b*tch, your brother went to help your parents and you left them dead, you wh*re.' And I guess that, for me, cemented the guilt.”But after years of trauma, survivor guilt and becoming a mother to her beautiful son Susan has found a deep resilience, hope and now helps others to heal and recover and using her own lessons learned she supports, inspires and thrives.A real turning point was her determination to swim the English Channel having never been back in the water prior she was determined to use the challenging endeavor to tackle her own demons. A survivor and an inspiration.

In this powerful and moving episode of GET REAL, the first in our Lived Experience series for this year, we are joined by special guest Susan Berg. At 15, Susan Berg was the sole survivor of a boating accident that claimed the lives of her Mum, Dad and 16-year old brother, Bill. Suffering from survivor guilt, she delved into a miserable life of self-loathing, anxiety and despair. It took Susan decades to learn the tools to heal her heart and find peace and happiness within herself. In 2015 Susan's autobiography "The Girl Who Lived", was published. Then in 2017, as part of her ongoing recovery journey - and after 14 months of intense training -  she faced her 30-year crippling fear of water and swam the 1.2km Lorne Pier to Pub.  Susan is now an ultra-marathon swimmer, training for a solo crossing of the English Channel!Susan is passionate about helping others overcome personal obstacles and has developed "Dare the Impossible", weekend getaways, retreats and workshops, providing people with the tools for resilience, and inspiring them to heal their lives and fulfil their dreams.  Susan chats with Georgia Symmons - ermha365's Victorian State Manager of Strategy and Service Transformation - about her life; her recovery; the challenges she has faced; and the ones she is looking forward to in the future.Susan also shares her thoughts on the Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health System, in particular, the importance of infusing lived experience into every aspect of the mental health system, including the delivery of mental health services and responding to people in appropriate and effective ways.If you have found any of this discussion distressing, you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14.To learn more about Susan, her work, and her journey, please visit https://www.susanberg.com.au/For more about ermha365's mental health programs and services, go to https://www.ermha.org/mental-health-services/
