Talk to someone, ask for help, find those signs of distress in you and get that like proper care plan for you and start to figure out what self care you can do to stop yourself from falling further into your illness and into your struggle and maintain that contact.
What if understanding trauma could change the way we see ourselves and others? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Flight of Thoughts', Jake takes listeners on a solo journey into the heart of being 'trauma-informed'. He breaks down how recognizing and addressing trauma can help us become better human beings. But it doesn't stop there.
Jake also dives into the tricky waters of identifying prejudice within ourselves, exploring how these biases are often ingrained and what we can do to unlearn them. A significant part of the discussion revolves around the 'mental health continuum' model. This concept, familiar to many first responders and healthcare workers, helps individuals recognize where they stand in terms of mental well-being—whether they're healthy, reacting, injured, or ill.
Jake emphasizes that being aware of your mental health continuum can be a game-changer. It allows you to catch early signs of distress and take proactive steps to maintain your mental health, rather than waiting until a crisis hits. With the backdrop of a global pandemic and ongoing civil rights movements, this episode is particularly timely. Jake underscores the importance of building robust self-care rituals and support systems to navigate these turbulent times.
He also touches on the effects of substance use and how it ties into our mental health. This episode isn't just informative; it's a call to action. Jake encourages listeners to seek help when needed, recognize signs of distress, and implement effective self-care practices. Whether you're a first responder, a healthcare worker, or someone looking to better understand mental health, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
