What started as a typical weekend took an unexpected turn when the author suffered a paralysing panic attack on a busy Sunshine Coast motorway. Spiralling into emotional chaos, but desperate to protect her professional life, she hid her illness. As her mental health declined, she got lost in a secret that became harder to tell. Teachers Cry Too explores a teacher's harrowing journey through the emptiness of fear, isolation and shame, and the realisation that the career she blamed for making her sick, also had the power to pull her out of the abyss. Offering a deeply personal insight into the teaching profession, this is a story of heart, hope and the willingness to fall. Because it is in falling that we find our strength-and give others permission to find theirs.
