Mental health practitioners must reduce the stigma around help-seeking behaviour by coming out and talking about their personal experiences with therapy. A therapist who has a therapist of their own ensures their clients are in safe hands as they are less likely to let their personal issues impact therapy sessions. What is your view about therapists being in therapy?

In today's episode, we talk about the stigma that surrounds mental health and address specific themes related to suicide such as grief, warning signs, and what we can do as a preventive measure instead of operating from an investigative mode, trying to dig the reason behind why someone completed suicide. If suicide is a trigger for you in any manner, we advise you to give this episode a miss.

In this episode, we use storytelling as a tool to explore the different biases and stigmas that exist around seeking help for mental health issues. We also aim to bring to the listener's awareness personal biases and prejudices they too may be operating from at a subconscious level.
