Manage episode 485178201 series 86190
As we wrap up mental health awareness month, it’s a great time to talk with someone who is literally changing how we talk about mental health. This week, host Paula Felps is joined by Dominic Lawson, an accomplished, award-winning podcaster whose new show, Mental Health Rewritten, is tackling stigmatized mental health topics head-on. By taking on issues surrounding addiction and recovery, he is changing the way we talk about such things as sex, suicide, and cultural identity — and is teaching all of us about the role of empathy in overcoming shame.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The connection between addiction, recovery, and mental health.
- Why it’s important to break through shame and isolation.
- The role of family in mental health and addiction recovery.
