The Trouble With Experts

Existing as a flawed human creature is a messy, unpredictable and imperfect art, so how are people setting themselves up as experts on the matter?

 

In this episode, we:

• Call bullshit on self-proclaimed experts in the wellbeing   scene
• We tackle Imposter syndrome when you’re a mental health professional whose life is falling apart
• And we celebrate the power and skill of truly witnessing someone (which doesn’t require a certification)
