Episode 10: "Open Dialogue"

Matt reads Rory a post he recently published on social media about ‘co-design’ (code sign?), ‘up scaling’, and ‘innovation’ in mental health. Does the mental health industry exist to truly serve people, or is it more concerned with its own self-sustaining growth?

Hosts Matt Ball and Stephanie Mitchell discuss Dissociachotic - a way to understand the importance, value and meaning in the common human experience often labelled as 'psychotic’. Dissociachotic supports understanding 'psychosis' as a form of dissociation in the context of relational threat. Matt and Stephanie explore the gift of sharing the journey towards relational safety, and the inevitable evaporation of the Dissociachotic experience within human to human connection. Produced by Rory Ritchie.
