Inside Looking Out

This book will open your eyes to the issues of mental health, wellness, and dis-ease. Linda Gillan shares her journey, not only for those who struggle with mental health, but also, to bring better understanding to family, friends, and the wider community.

Linda's writing is raw and real, she tells it how it is. And how it was; to be suddenly hospitalised in a psychiatric ward. Revealing the scars of the darkest periods of her life, her understanding of human existence and how our individual experiences of mind, body and spirit are interconnected.

"When something is out of balance, physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually, it manifests in our body as dis-ease in some form or another. In my case, diagnosis of mental illness." - Linda Gillan

We all have mental health and it's time to drop the facade that wellness is a continual plateau. Mental illness is a silent disease, a debilitating and lonely journey. There are no bandages to show that something is not working, injured, or broken...and stigma exacerbates the situation. Linda Gillan encourages us all to have open and honest conversations about how we are really feeling. True healing starts when we all work together, in safe and supportive environments. May we teach by example that; mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing deserve equal care and consideration for a well-rounded existence.
