Over the years, I have chosen very carefully how much of my lived experience to disclose to supervisors and colleagues. To this day, there are bits I do not share in work settings, for fear of being treated differently and perceived unfit to do my job. So I will often say “I have lived experience of suicidality and suicide bereavement” and leave it at that. This (limited) disclosure has however never made it into any of my published work.
