This week's interview is with my very first international guest, Jess Clough! She is an Aussie from Newcastle (just north of Sydney), and she has Functional Neurological Disorder, or FND. FND is a rare disease that basically results in a faulty nervous system (as Jess puts it in the episode). The NORD's page on FND is linked below, and they define FND much more eloquently than I can! Jess and I talk about mental health, medical gaslighting (a term that was new to me during this episode), why Freudian psychology needs to be revisited and not glorified, and much more!
