    The 20 Minute Walk

    This podcast discusses suicide in a graphic manner and may be disturbing to some listeners. This is a first person narrative documentary created by Help Text founder Emma Payne. It was originally produced in 2017. In 2002, colleague and friend Emma Payne’s husband Barry died by suicide. As she struggled to make sense of things, I gave Emma a mini-disc recorder and suggested that, like keeping a journal, just talking into the recorder might be helpful. 15 years later, Emma listened to the recordings for the first time and we started to work together on what would become a single episode podcast called The 20 Minute Walk. Originally released in 2017, the podcast has been remastered and re-released in 2022 to mark the 20th anniversary of Barry’s death.

    CPTSD

    The more I think about it, the more I understand that Pocket Girl started long before I began dating terrible men, flailing in my artistic career, or smacked hard into the wall of sexism. I was raised to not have a self. Gas-lit into believing the problem was me, and not the horrendous, dysfunctional, misogynist, abusive b******t, I was marinated in. Alexandra Carson Ouimet PresentsPodcast Ep. 19 It’s been a while since we’ve heard from the Pocket Girl and this episode explains why. Also, she’s now officially Alexandra Carson. For now, she still lives in Portland. ISBN: 978-1-926758-13-8 Resources: Pete Walker is not only a survivor of CPTSD, but also a therapist. His book Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving is a must read and offers so much hope. Beauty After Bruises is one of the very few sites dedicated to CPTSD awareness and can help connect you to therapists and resources. Shahida Arabi: Her book Power: Surviving and Thriving After Narcissistic Abuse was instrumental in helping me with some breakthroughs last year. The Body Keeps Score by Bessel van der Kolk. Not CPTSD specific, but tons of relevant and helpful information.

    Yellow Jack Podcast: Pause Everything

    If we could just somehow pause all rent, all mortgages and pause all interest for this time period, I think that could help everyone. Because then those small businesses won’t be paying for a building that they can’t run a business out of.

    Yellow Jack Podcast: There's a Lot to Do So We Better Go Slow

    Yellow Jack Podcast: What Choice Have I Got?

    Part of my world is to experience it with my hands. And…it’s very difficult for me to know what proximity I am to other people. A lot of times I will bump into somebody or I just won’t be able to maintain a distance that they’re comfortable with…I touch more things than most people touch…and that also comes with a higher risk factor. Amy amantea Yellow Jack Podcast, Episode #3 (Ouimet Presents Episode #14) Self-isolation is challenging. Try self-isolating if you have a disability of some sort. Amy Amantea is an actor and artist who lives in Vancouver. She’s also blind, and currently in self-isolation. Here is her story. Amy at the launch of WHEEL VOICES TUNE IN!
