I really connected today with Luke around his story and my story. I hope this helps people who have problems, whether doctors or patients.
Thanks for this well articulated account of your own story and for the work you're doing here. Hearing the stories others tell helps us all be gentler and more understanding whether we've experienced trauma ourselves or not.
I like this podcast, but I don’t really like the fact that the “narrators” kind of but in and ask questions.
Even though we've all gone through something (and I'm certain no one escapes completely), being able to hear other's stories and feel the repercussions is a great reminder that we really ARE all in it together. Thank you for the amazing work!!
Mental illness is unseen. There are no bandages, no bandaids, no crutches, no cuts … We need to break the silence and stigma of all mental health concerns and there is no doubt that Lukes podcasts goes a long way in explaining and educating others.
What I have learnt is, that there is no shame in mental ill health.
