Pages : 263
Book Description
'I don't think there's a police officer or emergency worker out there who's not going to get something from this book.'—Ron Iddles OAM In 2014 Tim Peck's career was at its peak – after reaching his goal of working in the Homicide Squad, he had enjoyed a period of rapid promotion through the ranks, working high-profile cases and managing complex operations, throwing everything into his career. But internally he was struggling – with depression, anxiety, PTSD and alcohol dependency. Then he reached a breaking point nobody had seen coming, running his car off the road and planning to end his life. In the aftermath of this crisis, Tim got sober, got serious about therapy and learnt a lot about a subject he had previously ignored: mental health and the impact of work involving traumatic events. He went on to study psychotherapy and take roles at Beyond Blue and Phoenix Australia, shaping mental health programs for emergency service workers across Australia. In The Invisible Obvious, Tim shares his story candidly, exploring how he didn't see the 'obvious' and what led to the escalation of his symptoms. He argues that everyone should take responsibility for their own mental health rather than blaming others or using unhealthy coping mechanisms, and he shares his 'everyday' model of mental health that anyone can use to manage high stress levels. The Invisible Obvious is a remarkable account of recovery and resilience and an invaluable resource for those dealing with or recovering from trauma, particularly in the workplace. With forewords by Georgie Harman, CEO, Beyond Blue and David Forbes, Director, Phoenix Australia-Centre for Posttraumatic Mental Health, Department of Psychiatry, University of Melbourne. 'The Invisible Obvious is a must-read for anyone interested in mental health, mental illness, and the messiness of life. It is an uninhibited story of crisis and struggle, but also of hope, resilience and recovery – one that doesn't mince words, and that fearlessly peels back the scab on the stigma that feeds discrimination.' —Georgie Harmon, CEO, Beyond Blue 'Sometimes we read a memoir that opens our heart, challenges our mind and inspires us to make things better in this fraught, painful and complicated world we live in. The Invisible Obvious does all this and I am grateful for it having been written.' —David Forbes, Director of Phoenix Australia, Centre for Posttraumatic Mental Health, University of Melbourne
