2013. I didn’t want to live. I had been diagnosed with PTSD, depression & anxiety. I felt an indescribable mental pain. I was an involuntary patient in a psych clinic. I had no self-worth. I hated me. I was devoid of happiness and joy. I was my PTSD.
2025. I like me, I don’t love me, Im working on getting to love me again. I want to live. I work full time. I co-founded a charity. I enjoy life. I feel joy and happiness. My conditions dont define who I am, I co-exist with them.
I work with organisations to show their people that recovering from and living with mental health conditions is not only possible, but how to grow and thrive out of extremely dark places.

Mark is incredibly positive. Despite what he has been through in his life, including the death of his mother at the age of eight and being hospitalised with mental injuries in 2013, positivity remains an integral part of his life. He is determined not to let these traumas rule his life so you will be getting a passionate, positive, raw, open and honest and real speaker.
Sam Higgins wrote, "Mark is a phenomenal speaker the way in which he was able to convey a range of extremely important messages whilst captivating the audience was something that I have not seen done in such a masterful way in a long time - Mark you’re a credit to yourself thank you for sharing your story".
These are the categories of entertainment or other services offered by From pain to purpose, thriving after PTSD.
A PowerPoint facility is a requirement that Mark would very much like, but it is not integral. Due to Mark's mental injuries, he has issues with concentration, hence the PowerPoint requirement but as indicated, if none available, Mark will adapt.
No songs but topics covered are PTSD, depression, anxiety, recovery, treatment, how Mark stays healthy and other important topics that are integral to remaining healthy.
