If you\u2019re old enough, you\u2019ll remember Tony Slattery. Funny, amazing improviser, clever. Watching him in this documentary is salutary to his talent, and eye-opening as to what mental health challenges can mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a touchingly filmed, yet extremely honest perspective of someone who\u2019s had a lot of challenge in their life. I\u2019m sure many will find it fascinating, in a vicarious way, but others will feel it resonating, and perhaps give them ideas on how to rethink their own situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tony\u2019s old GP started the journey, but it was all three of the other specialists who I think highlighted the need to rethink and take action from the reframed positions that rethinking generated, to make progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding the astonishing reveal made towards the end, and then to see how that must have clearly impacted the change in Tony, was to me, amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abuse, self or other, creates many challenges and Mark was a clear foundation on which Tony\u2019s change will be anchored, now and in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highly recommended viewing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
