Dear Daniel, Your video today really affected me. I’ve watched your content before, mainly for your thought-provoking critiques of the mental health field - frank, original and, at times, bleakly humourous. Well done for the great job there. I continued to watch for your raw truth, because in some intangible way it showed me I can speak my truth too. I can be vulnerable too. How is it that somebody on YouTube can practically permit me to be myself? I imagine if growing up I had that from just one person…I would have been flying. So, today I was crying before you even got to the poem. Tears of relief to hear it wasn’t just me. And I remembered deciding to wear that heavy monkey suit when I was in a similar position to you, as a private school scholar from a working-class background. And warning my adult self to never judge me for that decision, because it couldn’t have been any other way. In short, your honesty is contagious to those of us who can smell BS even - especially - when the BS starts to infiltrate our own selves. I’m probably around the same age you were when you quit being a therapist and I’m about ready to do the same as a pharmacist. Any benefit I’m giving to patients on a personal level is drowned out by being a cog in this messed up system, and you amongst others have woken me up to it. Anyway, you should know you’re making a real difference out here 🙂
