Craig Lewis has had a lifetime of trauma. Wrongly placed in Psychiatric care by his parents at the age of 14, he was misdiagnosed with a mental illness and subjected to years of medication which poorly affected his mental health.
Finally escaping the cycle of medication four years ago, surviving on sofas and streets, Craig now dedicates his life to being an advocate for disadvantaged people. This is a provocative conversation about living with injustice and making sense of the world.
We go deep on topics such a:
Injustice
Being raised in institutions
The drive behind his passion to help others
Long term affects of trauma & medication
Cultivating Empathy instead of Anger
Radical forgiveness
Post traumatic stress
How compassion supports change
How we react is always a choice
Hopes for the future
Craig is a shining example of someone who has chosen to develop empathy and humanity towards others despite horrific losses, turning his adversity into advantage and choosing to love instead of repeating the toxic pattern he was exposed to.
