No Feeling Is Final: Honour's Candid Look Inside Psychiatric Hospitals

Sometimes they were bad enough to warrant a needle in my butt, which My-Year-Old self was mortified by.
Ever wondered what life is like inside a psychiatric hospital? In this episode of 'All In The Mind', Honour shares her deeply personal journey through psychiatric hospitalization. Using diary entries, songs, and phone recordings, she offers a raw and honest depiction of the challenges she faced. Honour's story isn't just about the struggles, though; it's also about reclaiming her narrative through the lens of narrative therapy.
This episode gives a unique perspective on the stigmas and limitations surrounding mental illness, all while humanizing the patients who navigate these challenges daily. Plus, there's a sprinkle of humor as Honour recounts the peculiar 'cheese economy' and the less-than-ideal snack options in the hospital. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of mental health and the importance of supporting those who are going through similar experiences.
