S4E16 The Myth of 'Scary Music' for Mental Health with Sarah Martin
Manage episode 455886920 series 3406478
Sarah Martin is an author, nurse, mother, Sane peer ambassador and peer support worker. Her mission and passion are to break the stigma and silence of all mental health concerns by sharing her family's journey. She says their experience with psychosis, depression, anxiety and bipolar opens the doors to discussions and allows others to know that they are not alone.
A must-listen episode with Sarah, where we speak about
- Sarah's experience of being contacted by a stranger overseas to say her daughter Alice was unwell, which later unfolded into finding Alice in the middle of a psychotic break
- the kindness of strangers and how 'luck' played a part in Alice's story and recovery process
- how Sarah and her family went from sweeping mental health under the carpet to mental health being a permanent uninvited visitor in their home
- frustration about the lack of awareness of mental health and the misunderstanding that mental health is a full stop ... one that means life is 'over'
- Sarah and my list of mental health myths and misunderstandings we would remove if we had a "Mental Health Magic Wand"
- how the process of writing her book was a cathartic process for Sarah and how Alice is her hero
