Resilience and Recovery: How Did Rebecca Turn Her Struggles into Strength?

Rebecca House’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and purpose. A former police officer with Lancashire Police, Rebecca faced a life-altering mental health crisis that led to her detention under a Section 2 order in a psychiatric hospital. Her book Police to Paranoia provides a raw and honest account of her experiences, from the depths of despair to her eventual recovery. Now, through her mental health organisation, Strength in Struggles (SIS), Rebecca is using her lived experience to support others, offering guidance, resources, and hope to those navigating their own struggles.

 

On Sphere of Being, Rebecca shares powerful conversations that break the stigma around mental health, providing valuable insights from experts, survivors, and advocates. She explores topics such as the realities of psychiatric treatment, the impact of medication on mental health, coping mechanisms, and the importance of community support. Each episode is an open, honest, and compassionate discussion, offering listeners not just awareness but practical steps toward healing and resilience.

 

This podcast is for anyone seeking understanding, whether you are experiencing mental health challenges yourself, supporting a loved one, or working in mental health advocacy. This episode with Rebecca House is more than a podcast — it’s a movement toward a world where no one has to struggle alone.
