Manage episode 286383001 series 2887336
PLEASE NOTE TODAY'S EPISODE HAS EXPLICIT REFERENCES TO SUICIDE.
Today's episode is in memory of Geneva Guerrieri.
Sue Guerrieri a Mindset & Grief Coach joins Callsuma to talk about who Geneva was before she died of suicide in 2018, age just 22. We also discuss emotions and are black and brown ethnic groups doing the emotional work to heal from generational trauma?
Is medication doing more harm than good instead of actually talking about how we truly feel? Is the student population under an immense amount of burden and pressure and are institutions doing enough to support our student population? Food for thought.
Geneva was incredibly bright, active at University as a student trustee and a member of the Democracy and Equality department, she left Bournemouth University with a 1st class honours degree. Geneva then went on to be CIM qualified before she went onto study her Masters at Imperial College, London.
I leave you all with a final quote from the episode:
"i'm fine" The chameleon of all emotions - Sue Guerrieri.
The songs for today's episode on our Spotify Playlist Bereavement Room Podcast include Sade, King of Sorrow and Lady Gaga, Million Reasons.
