Had a COVID test this morning for some mild cold symptoms so putting myself to bed with some light PhD related reading: Kay Redfield Jamison’s memoir about her experiences as a psychiatrist with #livedexperience.
#phdlife #GetTested #StayHome Image
Correction, KRP not a psychiatrist but a clinical psychologist & professor in psychiatry department.
Love this description of her own psychiatrist. Image
The value of her and other’s #livedexperience is evident in her descriptions of the research & training program she created as director of the UCLA Affective Disorders Clinic. Image
Her descriptions of support from the chairman of the psychiatry department also reflect the importance of supportive managers... although a bit less paternalism would be nice 😉 Image
The Mouseheart factor is a beautiful description of negative responses of colleagues to the sharing of #livedexperience reported by some mental health professionals.
Don’t be a Mouseheart! Image
So, I’ve just managed to catch a cold in stage 4 lockdown 🙄 Image

I now know why my colleague mentioned @Rufusmay to me.

I love the way he proposes telling stories, and being creative, playful and vulnerable as a way of bringing our whole selves to our work.

Highlights below...

"Until you or a relative experience it, it's another world [...] If you're sectioned you lose your rights, and things get done to you...

...I think it really changed my life."

On the influence of experiencing involuntary treatment on his career.

2/20
2:35 - 3:05

"When I managed to return to education I thought, "I want to make a difference" and go back into the #mentalhealth system and promote a more listening approach...

...I didn't feel I'd been listened to."

It took me a while to get to this episode but so glad I did.

Dr Linacre touches on so many important issues with regard to the sharing of lived experience by mental health professionals.

This will be a long thread.

1/14
10:37 - 11:25

On recognising the double-edged nature of our personal qualities. How qualities that predispose us to mental health difficulties might also be strengths.

2/14
11:43 - 12:25

On how personal experiences of #stigma towards disability and #Ableism motivated him to work with people with learning disabilities.

Seriously, if you work in #mentalhealth and haven't checked out this series yet, do yourself, your colleagues and your staff a favour.

"We never talked about it"

"We can't let the cat out of bag"

On supervisors not being comfortable discussing episodes of mental health challenges.

Another great episode in this series.

Important reflections on the contrast between workplaces that support and value the well being of the staff within them, and those that don't.

Must watch for leaders within #mentalhealth services who wish to create compassion cultures.

1/
1:55 - 3:40

Great description of "homely" team where the health of staff was prioritised by the manager and colleagues "had each others' backs".

2/
4:05 - 4:15

Contrasted with a workplace where in response to a toxic workplace culture she was "given the message" that "their was something wrong me", creating a "deep sense of shame".
