The Impact of Abuse, Suicide Attempts and Brighter Days // with Journalist Paul Smith

Paul Smith tells me about reporting historic child abuse, the subsequent court case and the impact it had on his mental state.

We discuss the forensics of dealing with that, a suicide attempt shortly after and how he managed to overcome such a traumatic series of events in his life.

Paul has a very candid and honest approach to what has passed, and a very optimistic and positive outlook to the future. It was an important conversation and one that I haven't heard in this type of format.
