TONY PACITTI: I AM ONE Pandemic Twin Dad and Partner of a Postpartum Psychosis Survivor (PTSD, Psychosis)
Manage episode 364081384 series 3447173
TRIGGER WARNING: Intrusive Thoughts, Mania, PTSD
On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with Tony Pacitti - a writer and a peer support group facilitator of PSI's Dads Group. When he's not facilitating support groups - or chasing his very energetic three-year-olds around - he can be found in a book. But for today, you can also find him on a podcast! Tony shares about welcoming and caring for newborn twins while his wife was experiencing Postpartum Psychosis, and how his PTSD from this traumatic postpartum period has fueled an inner-fire to help other Dad’s like him.
