If you had something bad happen to you, I think everyone should be allowed to wallow for a while. I mean, God, you're allowed to be a bit upset, really - but I think many of us are very hard on ourselves, we expect a lot of things about ourselves, and we expect a lot of things about people around us, and so cutting yourself some slack can be really hard to do. 

 

In this episode, Piers turns to Samantha Loi to get a psychiatrist’s opinion on how Piers was and continues to handle his stroke experience and recovery. They delve into the importance of seeking proper support, prioritising mental health, and being patient during the recovery process.
