I’ve had feedback from my recent Dclin interview, there were 2 panels, the 1st deemed me ready for training, the 2nd didn’t, the second panel was the panel in which I spoke the most about my lived exp. They said they were worried I wouldn’t meet the demands of training

This Brene Brown cartoon on #Empathy is a perfect way of describing the work of the work of #LXP staff - in particular ones who work directly with service users eg. #PeerSupportWorkers, LXP Researchers & Peer Group Facilitators. Empathy = Connection. LXP work is Connection.

BRENE BROWN - what an amazing woman - here’s a narrated cartoon as she explains the difference between empathy and sympathy. SO worth watching
