Ariane Beeston entered motherhood with the belief that she would experience an instant wave of love upon her son’s birth, expecting a seamless transition into parenting. However, reality unfolded quite differently. Instead of joy, Ariane found herself grappling with terrifying delusions about her own mortality, a deep-seated paranoia that social services would remove her child, and vivid hallucinations that transformed her baby into a menacing dragon. We are thrilled to welcome Ariane Beeston who shares her lived experience of postpartum psychosis.Ariane was a child protection worker - (later to be a registered psychologist) working for the Department of Communities and Justice in New South Wales when she gave birth to her baby, a little boy Henry, when she quickly began to experience frightening breaks with reality. She was later diagnosed with severe postpartum depression with psychotic features. At this point, I would like to issue a TRIGGER WARNING for this episode as we may be discussing eating disorders, infanticide, and suicide.Ariane is now the Communications and Content Manager for the Centre of Perinatal Excellence, - known as COPE. She's also a dancer and a choreographer."Talking the Glass House" is a CLKProductionsMedia presentation - all rights reservedProduced and written by Caroline Kelly - [email protected] Design and Socials - Daniel Borbely - Sequenced - [email protected] Recordist: Fran Toscano - 17th Street Audio [email protected] WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!****SEND IN YOUR EMAILS/QUESTIONS/COMMENTS - WITH "GLASS HOUSE QUESTION" IN SUBJECT LINE TO;[email protected] - and we will endeavour to answer your question in a bonus episode at the end of the series.ARIANE'S BOOK "BECAUSE I'M NOT MYSELF YOU SEE"https://www.amazon.com.au/Because-Not-Myself-You-See-ebook/dp/B0CM4T4RJFCOPE - Centre of Perinatal Excellence https://www.cope.org.au/READY TO COPE APPhttps://www.cope.org.au/readytocope/Liz Berry - Poet - https://www.lizberrypoetry.co.uk/Liz Berry reads "The Republic of Motherhood" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDyvUDZPyL0
