Season 2, Episode 2: Chronic Pain and EMDR

The stigma surrounding mental health is like a dragon. It's a dragon that society keeps well fed. That dragon is hurting people, even killing people, so we need to get rid of it. But you don't kill a dragon by addressing it, tackling it, or bringing awareness to it. If you want kill a dragon you slay it. With each episode we will dispel myths, challenge perceptions, and deliver a powerful strike against the stigma. And we don't intend to stop until the dragon is slain.
