Interested in other people& #39;s thoughts on this - this is an artist with about 15K followers. I see they& #39;re trying to do good here - but this is a very dangerous narrative. Where do you draw the line? This person has ZERO qualifications re psychology/therapy/121 consultations 1/5
What you may know through your own lived experiences is completely subjective to you & you only. Yes others may relate, but it doesn& #39;t suddenly make you an expert on advising on MH issues. Your coping strategies may not work for others, in fact it may actually worsen their 2/5
situation. They may feel worthless that the said coping strategy is not effective for them. This is why people spend yrs & yrs qualifying in these fields, that& #39;s why qualifications exist. These buzz words like MH "mentor" "coach" are meaningless & dangerous. No one should 3/5
use someone else& #39;s vulnerabilities to benefit themselves, and line their pockets at other people& #39;s expense. You can& #39;t mess with mental health, sometimes, it is a matter of life or death. If you don& #39;t qualify for something, don& #39;t be a pretender 4/5
As much as I& #39;d love to fly to the moon, I& #39;m not an astronaut & simply not qualified for the job. So you won& #39;t catch me flying to the moon anytime soon. 5/5
