I was thrilled to have one of my friends Eric open wholeheartedly about his experience working with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He is in fact my neighbour, and my newfound mental health buddy. It is with him that we discuss all things Cluster B Personality Disorders, and I had to have him on this podcast to share this story.

With over 17 years of risk management experience in banking, insurance and private equity, Eric is a seasoned risk manager who understands client needs for growth as well as he does portfolio management and distressed asset management. He currently works for Standard Chartered.

In parallel to his day job, Eric has made a long mental wellbeing journey; he has been working as a volunteer mindfulness counsellor in Changi Prison for nearly 12 years, and has in the past years expanded his activities to coaching and mentoring, both inside the bank and externally.

His main driver for these activities is his own journey of recovering from complex post-traumatic stress disorder or cPTSD. He is paying forward the guidance that he received from his therapists and support groups, through his pro bono mental wellbeing work and he started writing a book about his life journey.

His background puts Eric in a unique position of combining insight in and empathy with the
intricate interaction of mind, body and emotion, with the capacity to offer safe space through a coaching platform.
