Monday May 07, 2018
Monday May 07, 2018
In this episode, you will hear three therapists have a conversation about how mental health/illness stigma manifests itself in daily practice with clients. Elisa, Monica, and Cristal all have experience working with victims of crime, Latinxs, children, and trauma survivors. All these vulnerable populations experience stigma differently. Elisa speaks about how victims of crime experience stigma. She talks about her experiences with male clients and children. Monica talks about her experiences with curanderismo as mental health treatment... as well as the shortage of male therapists in her area (and everywhere else in the US, we think). And all three talk about their own history with mental health diagnoses and treatment.

From existing to LIVING- Mental Health Awareness Month

All of the interviews and episodes in the month of MAY will be related to #fightingthestigma and #Mentalhealthawarenessmonth.
In April, I posted openings for interviews on FB and Insta. I asked if there were any brave souls willing to talk openly about their mental health struggles. Because MH stigma is so strong, I didn't expect to get many responses. Luckily, I am friends with many fearless mental health warriors, and here I interview one of them!
In this episode, I talk with my friend, Clarissa, about her own depression and treatment. We candidly discuss medication, symptoms, and life changing interventions.
