It's not necessarily about you, but it's letting them know your experience. That's the travesty that we're trying to work through, right, and I think I experienced a lot of cognitive dissonance which creates stress in the body.
What happens when a high-achieving professional decides to break the silence about her struggles? In this episode of 'The High Cost of Anonymity', hosts Preston and K Preston Moore sit down with Dr. Victoria Burns, an Associate Professor, social worker, and recovering alcoholic. Dr. Burns opens up about her journey through trauma, addiction, and diabetes, revealing how she navigated the tricky waters of self-disclosure in the workplace.
She discusses the fine line between maintaining professionalism and living authentically, and how sharing her story brought her closer to her colleagues rather than isolating her. As a self-proclaimed perfectionist and trauma survivor, Dr. Burns' story is a powerful testament to the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction. She emphasizes that sharing our experiences can not only help us heal but also support others facing similar battles. Tune in to hear Dr.
Burns' candid conversation about the intersection of trauma, addiction, and mental health, and discover how advocacy can play a crucial role in recovery.
