Because Feelings Matter #34: Dealing With Duality Of Work And Personal Lives

About 15 years ago, Herman Jorgensen seemed to be winning at life, so why was he also having panic attacks, feeling a sense of emptiness, turning to alcohol, and becoming more passive at work? In this episode of Because Feelings Matter, Herman, who is now managing director at a multinational company in Malaysia, reflects on his past mental health struggles and how he is using his own experience to institute more empathetic workplace mental health practices within his organisation. This episode is focused on work-related mental health issues, in conjunction with the theme of World Mental Health Day 2024, ‘Mental Health at Work’.

Every mental health struggle has a story behind it. ‘Because Feelings Matter’ is a series that brings you the stories of people and their mental health issues. This series is produced in collaboration with Thrive Well.
