Being a clinical psychologist in recovery from mental ill health: stigma, identity, 'othering&#3


Dr Natalie Kemp CPsychol talking at the Division of Clinical Psychology London Staff Wellbeing Forum, about being in recovery from mental ill health as a clinical psychologist and the founding of the in2gr8mentalhealth community for mental health professionals with lived experience of mental ill health.

The learning that is done from experiencing the stigma and the impact of lived experience of psychological distress on personal and profession identity. Understanding 'self' care as a shared responsibility with surrounding organisational systems, and how vulnerability can be easily 'othered' and denied.

"This talk and the video was no small thing to do, but it was one of the best things I have done. No nonsense. Thank you to my friends and family for the part you played in helping me get to this point. 💛⭐✊👍" Natalie Being in recovery from mental ill health as a clinical psychologist and the founding of the in2gr8mentalhealth community for mental health professionals with lived experience of mental ill health.
