In this episode, Dan and Tracey speak with Pete Wilson, the managing director at Determined2, an organisation that offers an innovative immersion therapy service.

Here is a taste of what Tracey, Dan and Georgi cover in the conversation: 


  • Pete shares his personal experience of a life-changing accident in 2007, which led him to start Determined2. He talks about the three phases of his recovery - survival, fighting to get back to normal life, and acceptance of a new direction in life.
  • Pete talks about the importance of focusing on what individuals can still do, rather than what they cannot, during their recovery. Determined2 aims to provide opportunities for people to experience what is possible.
  • Pete talks about the benefits of his immersion therapy, which involves scuba diving in a pool.
  • Pete shares his advice for co-designing with the people you support, emphasizing the need to stay focused on the mission and to be adaptable in the face of challenges.
