The Long Shadow

One of the fears that plagues clinicians with substance use disorder - what if AHPRA finds out? In this episode, James discusses one of the most difficult experiences a healthcare professional can face: navigating the mental health crisis of addiction, while facing a notification to AHPRA and suspension of registration. James shares the destructive impact, but also his courage, growth, and perspective. Together Gen and James discuss the role of stigma, isolation and the need to find cognitive frameworks that are empowering.
