Mental Health Without Maps
Imagine that. If you've ever tried to find a therapist before, you may have come across an issue with jurisdiction. The therapist you want to work with may not be licensed in the state you're living in or you had to find another therapist because you moved to another state. What if there was a world where you can safely, ethically, and responsibly work with your therapist regardless of where you two are living?
Given the state of the world, the global demand has steadily increased for "mental health" care but the supply is insufficient. What can we do as mental health professionals to address the mental health economics?
In this episode, we explore how we can creatively rethink how we do our work and what we can learn from the many generations of healers who've come before us who continue to exist in many communities around the world.
