About this listen

Explaining what Peer Supported Open Dialogue actually entails can be challenging. Talking about talking in order to explain the content of a network meeting is like trying to hold smoke, as Amanda puts it. In this series we hope to record conversations that are dialogical and form a dialogue, with insights from creators, practitioners and teachers of Open Dialogue. We would love it if we could form a dialogue with you. We would like to quite literally demystify what Open Dialogue is all about by having a dialogue about it.

    In episode 7 of Season 3 of OpenPODpod we hear Lauren, Advanced Lived Experience Practitioner at CNWL, telling us how learning about Open Dialogue led her to peer working. Along the way we reminisce about chocolate factories, the first ever POD cohort, and Lauren’s experiences as a healthcare support worker-turned-peer. As we reflect, we look through different lenses to learn about the unique value of peer working in Open Dialogue – the P in the POD.
