E 124: Mental Health, Mental Illness, and Burnout: Mental Health Awareness Month

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we are here to talk about it. Mental health, mental illness, and burnout are the hot topics of the day.

Before that, we share our “behind the scenes” stories about our first time on live television. Once we got in the studio, we were totally fine, but before that…it was a different story. One of us shaved off half an eyebrow and the other nearly lost a shoe in a sewer grate.

We started this podcast over two years ago and somehow never discussed the difference between mental health and mental illness. As Unqualified Therapists, we dive in with our Google research and own opinions on how these two differ. When our mental health is in a not so good place, it is most often due to burnout, which is most often caused by our work environments. We will discuss the stages of burnout and share some ways to heal from it.

We hope you enjoy this real, honest, serious, and at the same time silly conversation with your Unqualified Therapists. 

Xo,

Amy & Sarah
