#2: Building New Trust with Yourself and Others
Apr 06, 2019
FROM THIS SHOW...
From the moment a bipolar disorder enters the picture, trust begins to erode at the edges of our reputation and work its way inward.
We become unpredictable and difficult to live with. Episodes of mania undo our good name and destroy our credit, both financially and relationally. Episodes mixed with anxiety and depression make us a nervous wreck, pessimistic, and full of anger and fear.
So how do you put back into place what the illness has taken away?
Is there any hope of full restoration and peace?
Don't miss this vital episode, as Daniel asks Mike how he built new and better trust through key relationships and a bigger mission for his recovery.
