Rehabilitation have always been done from the point of view of a man. Most of the psychologists, most of the psychiatrists have been men. They have propounded theories in psychology and psychiatry that have suited men and not women.
Picture a world where mental health recovery isn't just about medication, but about reclaiming power and self-worth. Dr. Lavanya Seshasayee's interview on BBC World offers just that. She dives into her pioneering feminist self-therapy approach, which is designed to empower women in patriarchal societies. Forget traditional methods that often sideline women's unique experiences; Dr. Seshasayee's approach is all about putting women back in control of their mental health journey.
She shares stories from her time working with the poorest women in rural and urban India, often without basic amenities like electricity or internet. These experiences shaped her groundbreaking methods that have been applauded both in India and internationally. If you're curious about how mental health recovery can be more inclusive and empowering, this episode is a must-listen.
