On changing her relationship with her body.
On changing her relationship with her body.
From the outside, Tilly seems to have life figured out. She works in fashion, lives on a house-boat - for which she鈥檚 done all the plumbing and electrics. But inside, she鈥檚 struggling. She鈥檚 always felt wrong in her body - ever since school. Then one afternoon, Tilly sits down with a therapist - who fits the pieces of the puzzle together and gives Tilly a diagnosis. Tilly鈥檚 diagnosis explains the way her brain is wired - now her challenge is to re-wire it, and change her future.
In Room 5, Helena Merriman shares stories of real-life medical mysteries, interviewing people who - like her - were changed by a diagnosis.
