**Key Themes:**
1. Mental Health Journey: Paige discusses her transition from a psychiatric nurse to a clinical counselor and her challenges in the healthcare system.
2. Self-Care and Compassion: Self-care and acknowledging humanness are cornerstones of mental well-being.
3. Therapy and Support Systems: The significance of finding the right therapist and the impact of different therapeutic approaches, such as EMDR and exposure therapy.
4. Workplace Mental Health: The need for better mental health support in high-stress professions and the role of companies in providing mental health resources.
**Memorable Quotes:**
- "If you don't know that you're allowed to feel better if you don't know that you're allowed to take care of yourself, there is a whole heck of a lot of shame and guilt that comes with taking care of yourself."
- "Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is give voice to your struggles. Sharing your story might be the key that unlocks someone's prison."
- "Learn about self-compassion. If we can't acknowledge our humanness and that we are human beings and are not going to be perfect, then we're never going to feel a sense of satisfaction."
**Actionable Takeaways:**
1. Explore Self-Compassion: Visit selfcompassion.org and learn about Dr. Kristin Neff's work on self-compassion to better understand and integrate it into your daily life.
2. Seek the Right Therapy: Don't be afraid to 'speed date' therapists to find the right fit for your needs and personality. The proper support can make a significant difference.
3. Acknowledge Your Emotions: Understand that feeling a wide range of emotions is okay and that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
4. Support Systems Matter: If you're in a high-stress profession, ensure you have a robust support system and are aware of the mental health resources available.
