Men’s Mental Health and Relationships | With Simon Rinne, Social Worker and Founder of Mindful Men
Summary
Simon Rinne is a licensed social worker and shared his personal journey of dealing with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, overcoming alcohol misuse, and his experience finding the right therapists, leading to his commitment to men's mental health.
Key takeaways from the episode:
How the home environment and societal pressures impact men's mental health. We talk about how these pressures can be mitigated.
Simon’s concept to challenge societal norms and embrace a fuller, more emotionally expressive definition of masculinity.
Why is finding the right therapist so important and how can it significantly enhance the effectiveness of the therapy?
Simon's holistic approach to therapy involves blended lifestyle modifications, professional help, and supportive relationships.
How partners can play a supportive role in the journey of men’s mental health.
Simon is a husband and father, mental health advocate and social worker. As the Founder of Mindful Men, he’s dedicated to supporting men with mental illness and disability. Simon lived with OCD, Depression, Anxiety, and Burnout for 30 years, struggling in silence, using alcohol to feel "normal." At 28 Simon began the journey of healing and hopes to inspire others to believe that they can turn their pain into purpose, and move from surviving to thriving.
Noteworthy quotes from this episode:
[07:15] "I expected to walk into the doctor and the psych and they heal me after one session and that would be it. They give me a magic pill and that would be it. Didn't happen. Um, I didn't really discover that you need to do the work on yourself and really start changing the way you look at yourself until I burned out.”
[35:34] "I think we need to start normalizing mental health in the same way that we normalize our physical health. Our minds are important part of it because the mind is what gets everything going. So if our mind's cluttered or, fuzzy or depressed or anything like that there's there's ways that we can fix that."
