We have seen so many incredible advancements in technology in recent times and we seem to have an abundance of choice like never before, but is it these advancements that were meant to make the world an easier place to live that are actually causing a widespread dissatisfaction with life?
In this episode Sutter looks at the emergence of pseudo-vulnerability, and how social media platforms, influencers, and mental health ambassadors are adding to the mental health crisis we are living in. Sutter looks at mental health awareness and stigma, while questioning whether our new found openness is a good thing and actually helpful for our younger generations?
With mental health’s rising awareness we are seeing more and more people talk about their mental health experiences on more and more mediums. We now see Instagram, Facebook, youtube and even LinkedIn as platforms of choice for people to deliver overt displays of emotion to thousands and thousands of people - the majority of whom are strangers. But, is social media the most appropriate forum for this expression? And, more importantly, is it the most helpful for the person who is struggling, and the most helpful for the people watching?
19 minutes of thought-provoking content that raises important questions about what is the best way to look after our friends and family. Sutter finishes with tools and insights (something he says is missing from our mental health advocates' social media stories) on how to live creatively, freely, and meaningfully.
