Episode Synopsis

Simon Rinne, a mental health advocate and founder of Mindful Men, shares his personal journey with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and men's mental health. Growing up in Australia, Simon experienced societal pressure to conform to hyper-masculine ideals, which hindered his ability to seek help for his mental health struggles. He developed OCD symptoms, including obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, such as checking doors and windows. Simon used alcohol as a coping mechanism, but eventually sought professional help and embarked on a therapy journey. He now helps other men navigate their mental health challenges through his work with Mindful Men. Simon Rinne shares his mental health journey, including his struggles with OCD, depression, and burnout. He discusses the lack of understanding and support he encountered, as well as the challenges he faced in finding effective treatment. Simon also talks about the impact of his mental health on his family and how he made positive changes in his life. He emphasizes the importance of self-care and embracing imperfection in the journey to recovery.Connect with Simon!www.mindful-men.com.auwww.facebook.com/mindful.men.ausInstagram/TikTok: @mindful.men.ausYouTube: @mindfulmenApple Podcasts/Spotify: The Mindful Men PodcastSupport the Show.Thank you for listening and remember to like/comment/subscribe for future episodes!Check out the social media links below to send us a message!Facebook - Instagram - Website - Donate/BuyMeACoffee - Merch StoreIntro Music - Brooklyn Habit - Keyframe_Audio
