The Folie À Deux Podcast was a podcast project that initially began in collaboration with US mental health charity Strong 365 & evolved into a personal project intended to question the collective understanding of so called ‘madness.’
In late 2023 I began seeing clients therapeutically. Initially my intention was for my private practice to be a radically peer support focused space with a very broad breadth of creative offerings. However, I found myself becoming very unwell and had to take some time away from both podcasting as well as working therapeutically.
I realised that being as open and detailed as I had been about my personal mental health struggles, in both my practice and the podcast, was no longer feeling safe to me. I decided to end and archive the Folie À Deux Podcast and refocus my therapeutic offering - which I was also marketing under the same name. I began practicing under my name, Freyia Lilian, focusing solely on working with my clients on exploring their experience of embodiment, body image and eating.
Through producing the Folie À Deux Podcast I gained a whole new skill set - learning basic sound editing skills; honing my communication abilities; and practicing counselling skills.
I currently have a new podcast project, Heavenly Bodies, in pre production which will be a space to explore the experience of embodiment with special guests, including some of my clients. I hope that this project will act as a strand of my therapeutic practice’s outreach and marketing strategy.
