#22 Mark Valentine White Fox Talking | Podcaster and International ML on Overcoming PTSD
Mark Charlie Valentine is deeply passionate about promoting the many benefits towards improved physical health & mental well-being through spending time outdoors and this theme can be seen running through all avenues of his work. He is a Winter & International Mountain Leader, Climbing Coach & Rock Climbing Instructor, and is the director of and an instructor at Your Mountain Adventure.
But Mark has not always worked in the hills and mountains. After dealing with a horrific incident whilst working as a bouncer in Leeds, Mark discovered first hand the power of time spent outside in nature as he sought to find ways that empowered him through his diagnosis of PTSD. The award-winning film The White Fox follows Mark's journey from doors to hills, and he is now also presenting The White Fox Talking podcast.
In todays episode I chat with Mark about all things outdoors and mental health.
Please note that in this episode we do discuss various mental health conditions including PTSD and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.
