CW: self-harm, suicidal actions. This episode contains details of self-harm and a suicide attempt. 

Today, we sat down and talked with Mauri Hogan, a third-year clinical psychology doctoral student with a history of anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and depression. Mauri talks about her mental health journey and how it impacted her career path. She survived a suicide attempt her junior year of high school, and after being treated at an inpatient facility, she realized she had a passion for psychology and helping others like her. She talks about what it’s like living with mental illness while being a practicing clinician and a doctoral student. Currently, she’s working at a prison as a therapist, and she talks about the importance of letting others hold your emotional weight so you can make space to hold someone else’s. We hope you enjoy!
