What It Means to Heal After Loss – With The Duchess of York

In this powerful and heartfelt episode, our CEO Jan Gerber sits down with The Duchess of York to reflect on her time at Paracelsus Recovery and what it means to truly heal from the C-PTSD she developed after loss, and how she came to depend on food as a coping strategy for her pain. Together, they explore the impact of trauma, the stigma around mental health, and how a compassionate, anti-normative and non-pathologising approach can help someone feel seen after years of hiding. The Duchess speaks openly about the immense grief she’s carried and the pressure to keep going in silence as so many of us do. If you’ve ever felt like your pain was too much to name or like healing might not be possible – this one is for you.
