Today we took a deep dive (hence slightly longer) discussion with Eric Kussin, the founder of #SameHere Global Mental Health Movement. Eric talked about how he went from being a seemingly regular guy to being pumped with 50 different combinations of psychotropic medications and lying on his bed wasted. After two and a half years he saw an integrative psychiatrist and thus started his own journey to mental health recovery.
How do we stop the stigma of mental health by storytelling to normalise mental health
What're the pros and cons of "celebrity sharing"
We're all a little "crazy"
Adverse childhood events, trauma and life (and why Eric doesn't like the phrase "It's OK to be Not OK")
STARR exercises, Sudarshan Kriya breathing and the Art of Living, "mental" hygiene, and "prescribing" other modalities of healing for mental health
