Link – 10 podcasts about mental health

ByMikeM Reading Time: 1 minute

Before my latest job change, when I was traveling all the time, I listened to quite a few podcasts. It’s a habit I’ve since gotten away from, because I’m not on planes and/or out of the country anymore, but it is something I’ve been considering getting back in to. If you’re a podcast listener and want to get information on mental health podcasts, this might be a good place to start –

“Over the course of my research, I discovered a trove of mental health podcasts. In the spirit of #InternetSelfCareDay, I rounded up some of my favorite podcasts that discuss mental health. I admire each and every one of these hosts, so I asked a few of them to share how they got the courage to speak so openly about mental health. It’s so reassuring to hear people talk openly about their struggles.”

I’ve talked about this a little bit, but maybe not in detail. When I was really struggling, I can’t necessarily say that someone starting a conversation with me made the difference that day. I don’t think I was self-aware enough to know that. What I do know, however, is that being seen makes a huge difference. In my depression, I did not want to be seen. I wanted to fade away. That was the driver behind my desire, to simply not be here. To disconnect from everything in order to disconnect from the pain I was in. Small connections helped me understand what I was giving up, and why I might want to rethink that.
