Supporting Mental Well-being for Medical Professionals Vet Thrive Collective Podcast

In this episode of Vet Thrive Collective Podcast, I interview Doctor Mike Scanlan, a Northampton-based mental health and well-being consultant with decades of experience in the mental health field. Join us as we discuss the importance of maintaining your mental health in the medical professions.



In this episode you will learn about:




Mike’s journey into the world of mental health - including how a “not terribly good” acting career played a pivotal role. 


Trauma and how to process it - Trauma exposure in the medical professions and different emotional based therapies including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) a "quick and direct" therapy which helps to process trauma. 


Mental well-being tips - Mike discusses deep-breathing, gratitude practices and effective meditative practices. Additionally, Mike discusses how to utilise antidepressants in the healing process as well as the drawbacks of the public mental health system.


As well as the Alpha-Stim, an emerging technological device which could sweep the well-being industry.
