About this episode

Tanya shares her experiences and insights from her daughter's mental health journey, emphasizing the ongoing nature of healing after treatment.

We like to think completing treatment is the finish line, but Tanya learned it's just the beginning. In part two of her story on Double Take, she opens up about what coming home really looked like — the transition no one prepared her for, the toll on her own nervous system, and the parts of herself she discovered needed healing too. She also shares what she wishes someone had told her at the start, and the resource that helped her most along the way. Four and a half years later, Tanya shares where they are now. This episode discusses eating disorders, suicidal ideation, and self-harm. If you or someone you love needs support, please call or text 988.
