Being Self-Employed, Feeling Different and Broken Schedules - Let's Talk: Men's Mental Health

Episode 16 is a brand new session where Dr Suzanne Brown takes the opportunity to check in with the guys and their current mental health. Only for this session, unusually, there's only 4 of the 6 there. Whilst checking in, the elephant in the room is addressed whereby no one knows the circumstances, but they are welcomed to share their feelings on it. In particular, Nick finds this difficult as it is his session to talk, grow and reflect. Having people not there has impacted him. Other topics that are raised are the struggles of being self-employed and how much this effects their mental health on a regular basis. Being quiet, financial worry and working in the industries they do all play a part. On the positive side, Jeevan reflects on how he's been feeling recently. It's a far cry from where he was at the start of this journey, so that is great for the group to hear and dive into. Let's Talk is a group environment for 6 men to sit with a Clinical Psychologist and to digest, discuss and support each other in their own mental health journeys. The men have volunteered to step forward and use this format, all with their own unknown stories that they are looking to grow from. These men do not know each other. Many people experience the term "you need to talk more", but rarely with a follow up of how. This format is the how. Follow these individuals on their journey with more episodes coming soon
