The podcast is a reading of the first section of Chapter 2, entitled Violence. This term is very complex and means different things to different people. The chapter starts to unpack how I understand what violence means, starting with my childhood experience of domestic violence. I then move on to explore the issue of violence as it is expressed in dominance hierarchies such as mental health systems. This podcast focuses on the vertical and horizontal violence that I became aware of as a social worker. As Sandra Bloom writes, hurt people hurt people. This is a very concerning matter when it is mental health staff who are hurting, for what it means for how they care for people receiving mental health care.
Violence causes lovelessness. Workplaces that are loveless can become the breeding ground for more violence, that can go unchecked and not addressed.
Please take care when listening to this podcast as some of the commentary is very disturbing and can personally impact on you in unexpected ways.
