Season 1, Episode 9:
Welcome to episode 9 where I make another song recommendation and a thought of the week. I dive into the world of mental health hospitals and in particular, the experience of the one that I am currently in, St John of God Hospital in North Richmond.
I share some benefits of treatment, massages, "me time", food, snacks, early dinner, safety, staff, groups education programs, learning from staff and learning from others to increase the amount of time between relapses, treatment options and routines of hospital stays. I then finish up by talking about crying and how we all need to re-learn that crying is ok. That crying is not a weakness. That crying makes us stronger. Crying makes us human.
Song of the week:
When the war is over; John Farnham

Thought of the week:
"Help others, even when you know they can't help you back."
