Let's Talk Near Death

After contracting Malaria, and being given 24 hours to live, Charlie Webster had a life changing Near Death Experience. She can clearly recall the details of the doctors working on her and being on life support. And then after beating the odds, Charlie woke to a whole new life ahead of her. Her resilience and perseverance have taken on a journey of healing and contemplation, and helped her to look into some of life's biggest questions. Charlie is a mental health advocate driven by her own trauma and mental health journey since childhood. She founded and runs a mental health group, 'mindtalk' and is qualified in schema psychotherapy. She is a strong voice for young people, whether tirelessly working with victims of abuse as both children and adults or empowering the next generation in Africa implementing behaviour change and education against Malaria. She is also passionate about socioeconomic diversity coming from a disadvantaged low income and education family.

In this podcast conversation, I chat with Dr. Kathryn Mannix firstly about her experiences with physical death, and secondly some of the more non physical aspects of death and dying including deathbed visitations, spiritual signs that death is close and Near Death Experiences. Dr. Kathryn Mannix has spent her medical career working with people who have incurable, advanced illnesses. Starting in cancer care and changing career to become a pioneer of the new discipline of palliative medicine, she has worked as a palliative care consultant in teams in hospices, hospitals and in patients' own homes, optimising quality of life even as death is approaching. She is passionate about public education, and having qualified as a Cognitive Behaviour Therapist in 1993, she started the UK's (possibly the world's) first CBT clinic exclusively for palliative care patients, and devised 'CBT First Aid' training to enable palliative care colleagues to add new skills to their repertoire for helping patients.
