FM #1449 - Tuhina Pal "They. Didnt. Know." - 04/23/25
This session shares my conversation with Franklin High School junior Tuhina Pal. Tuhina recently published a book of her poems on her journey to recovery. We recorded this conversation in the Franklin TV & Radio Studio on Wednesday, April 23, 2025.
We cover the following in our conversation
- How normal anxiety worsened during the pandemic
- How she recognized that, got help and has been on the recovery journey
- How recovery is not a linear journey
- Poetry was a vehicle for her to work through her issues
The recording runs about 36 minutes
