Explore the power of 'messy storytelling' in mental health narratives through this insightful TEDx talk by Steph Ng. Discover three compelling reasons why sharing personal experiences with mental health is akin to a disco ball, reflecting multiple facets of our lives. Learn how embracing the nonlinear and complex nature of our stories can foster meaningful connections with ourselves and others. Drawing from her own journey of recovering from mental illness, her work as the founder of Body Banter, and her PhD research in psychology and linguistics, Ng offers valuable insights into crafting and sharing life stories. Gain a deeper understanding of how the seemingly chaotic pieces of our narratives can become powerful tools for empowerment and connection in the context of mental health discussions, particularly within Hong Kong's cultural landscape.
