Interview with Holocaust Survivor - Tomi Reichental
Jul 26, 202201:42:20Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I sat down for a very special and important conversation with one of the few Holocaust survivors still living in Ireland, the renowned Tomi Reichental. Tomi talked me through his life story – from growing up as a child in Slovakia, to his time at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp from when he was just nine years old, to his work and family life here in Ireland. He speaks about his earliest memories and ‘the whispers’ of antisemitism, through to more recent times speaking to people in Ireland and further afield about his experiences of World War II. A deeply personal and insightful journey and a reminder of the importance of solidarity, respect and understanding in challenging times, and the pillars and values of peace on which the European Union was built

My fake radio interview with Michelle
Feb 2, 202200:36:23Tap to summarizeAs some of you may remember, in December last year I pre-recorded a segment on a popular radio station here in cork. The previous day a girl had been on air talking about her own mental health journey after her mother and brother passed away, she was diagnosed with PTSD and provided with a prescription for medication, she said herself she thought it was a bit strange that no therapy was offered, just a prescription. I wanted to use my voice and my experiences to talk openly about what I thought about the whole ‘mental illness’ narrative; I prepared for this radio recording for most the day, thought about how I was going to voice my opinion while being careful not to upset or invalidate anyone’s journey or experiences but low and behold the segment never aired: this didn’t shock me as this has happened before, however, I was annoyed that I couldn’t use my voice so I decided to re-record the segment on MY terms. I drafted my sister Michelle in to play the radio host which she was only delighted to do and we had a good chat, it was very similar to the one I done with the real radio host. I hope you enjoy and please feel free to share it.

Interview with Professor Jaakko Seikkula (developer of Open Dialogue)
Sep 5, 202100:37:58Tap to summarize** Why aren’t we looking at what other countries are doing to tackle ‘mental health’ problems and suicide numbers and learn from them?? ‘Open dialogue’ is being used in some parts of Ireland but we need to be implementing it mainstream like Jaakko and others have done in Finland. If you ring up feeling suicidal or experiencing severe emotional distress, a support network will come to your house and support you everyday until you feel better, not one that tells you to go to A&E Here is my interview with one of the developers of 'Open Dialogue' Professor Jaakko Seikkula. The need for revolutionary therapy emerged in Western Lapland, Finland, during the second half of the 20th century, when the region had one of the highest rates of schizophrenia in Europe. Nowadays this is no longer the case, and this change is due mainly to the method used to reverse this situation, 'Open Dialogue'. What is Open Dialogue? “Open Dialogue is a way of organising psychiatric services with the aim of helping the patient during a crisis with utmost urgency, working together with the family and other parts of their social network,” The power of dialogue became evident in the remarkable results when 85 % could return to full employment and over 80 % living without any psychotic experiences at five year follow up. This was reached by minimum use of anti-psychotic medication, in 2/3 of cases none. Jaakko has mentioned previously that “During the psychotic crisis the patient is more open to sharing his feelings” I really enjoyed chatting with Professor Seikkula and feel very honoured that he gave up some of his time do to an interview with AnuWay.
