Definitely worth watching the whole 40 minutes but highlights for me... 1/7

The "us and them" dichotomy in #mentalhealth professions.

On a workplace that supported the sharing of #livedexperience and it's impact on the well being of staff.

3/7

7:25 - 8:13

On "closed down" supervisory relationships that don't allow professionals to bring personal responses to the work to supervision.

4/7

9:50 - 10:29

"Be careful who you talk to."

On policing of the "culture of non-disclosure" in mental health professions.

5/7

17:00 - 17:30 & 26:12 - 28:32

"You want to say this is hard but how is that going to be received when you say it?"

Also, @kempspace on "the bits you give back".

On finding your voice and identity in the context of #whitefragility and #stigma.

6/7

And finally...

36:10 - 37:20

On asking for a #mentalhealth day when we need it, in order to "bring our whole selves" to the work we do.

Great stuff @In2gr8mh! Can't wait for the next episode.
