What a great conversation with Clint! I learned so much. I always do, but this was different.
There is no tougher job than being a teacher, he says. I agree. Yet what was really compelling was the fact that he mentioned teachers are not taught to deal with children with mental health issues. They are not taught to be mental health communicators. So true.
This became his passion and his reason for becoming a Mental Health educator. Not just that. A Master Mental Health Educator.
His own loss of his brother to an overdose of fentanyl gave me goose bumps. I had a niece that they said it was an accidental overdose. 23 years old. That year I had 3 friends lose their brother, cousin, and sister lose their lives along with my niece. 2020.
He uses amazing words in this very compelling podcast, including his definition of HALT. This is very much something everyone, and Bulimics struggling should be aware of. Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. Feeling any one of these? They will trigger an addiction.
Expressing emotion without fear is another difficult thing to do, and that is where we need to focus on is it though?
I love his explanation about the left brain and the right brain. Ongoing trauma lives in the right brain. Listen to hear about this and the ability to express emotions without fear of punishment. Can you relate? I can.
Although Clint is focused on teenagers and young adults, he is right. And I agreed. Reaching out to adults too is important—adults who have experienced what he speaks about and never reached out for help. It's never too late.
