Hi! My name is Shan. I’m a graduate psychology student and also a woman with cPTSD. I have experienced healthcare discrimination first hand due to encounters I’ve had with the healthcare system while in crisis. I am working on a study that is primarily centered around the voices of those living with BPD and how healthcare discrimination and stigmatization has negatively impacted identity, relationships, and trust in the system (which is obviously already limited). I am in a unique situation of being both a peer who has experienced neglect from mental healthcare systems AND am now a moving piece within those systems. Would anyone be willing to share what would personally make them feel more willing to share their experience in an official study? My main objective is to provide this space without too much expectations. I want it to be a place where one could say what they have always wanted that shitty doctor, or those million shitty therapists, or horrible ER nurses to hear.
