A podcast about the experience of living with psychosis, specifically schizophrenia. I’ve had schizophrenia for as long as I can remember and it’s been quite a journey, I think we’ll find plenty to talk about!I used to not be an animal person, but since I got my Parakeets (Budgies, Birdies) last Fall I’ve found myself falling in love with these little happy fluffballs. My Budgies came to me sick and underdeveloped, and out time together has been a journey of mutual healing and trust-building. While some people think Schizophrenics shouldn’t have pets, this isn’t true; my Buddies help me manage Negative Symptoms like Avolition and Anhedonia, in addition to helping with my loneliness and withdrawal. We are not dangerous to our pets and having pets can be very helpful to our wellbeing.
Rose Parker has lived experience of psychosis, has a BA in Psychology and currently is on her way to become a therapist.
