In this episode, Shaimond welcomes Nina Chesworth, a volunteer with Esme's Umbrella, to share her personal journey and insights into living with Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS). Nina discusses the complexities of her vision loss stemming from a viral infection and subsequent accidents, leading to her current state of blindness. She candidly describes her CBS experiences, including persistent and sometimes frightening hallucinations, and offers coping strategies such as mindfulness, yoga, and acceptance. The episode delves into the importance of support systems, education, and awareness to better manage this condition. Nina also highlights the broader efforts to raise awareness about CBS and shares information about available resources, including support groups and upcoming initiatives.
