She's a serial healer, bless her heart.

she’s incredibly unbiased and professional. no bs or dramatization for the cameras. i bet she’s great at her job.

It seems to me the interviewer wants the more sensational details, like the mention of the serial killer and moving bodies, and the psychiatrist gently and gracefully shoots those questions down. I like that about her because those circumstances are so rare, we can't expect that kind of behavior from everyone who she treats.

The compassion and care she displays are something we can all learn from. Compassion and care will do more to fix the ills of society than punishment and vengeance.

Retired paramedic here. In my 23 years of working alongside many healthcare professionals with many titles and initials behind their names. Not many people have this level of knowledge or compassion for their fellow man. I hope she finds her career has been and continues to be successful because of who she is as a provider and a person.

Love the fact she went full gansta at the end "this shit is real". I respect this woman.

Corrections nurse here. This woman is top notch. It’s very hard to come across true compassionate providers to care for everyone in the human population.

The saddest thing is that most of those crimes are preventable. Mental illness is shrugged off until it escalates.

"It's hard to engage with people who are in denial of reality" nods in American

"I think revenge, although a very natural and human emotion, is an emotion that we can't afford" so incredibly well spoken.

Even her tone of voice, although likely developed through practice, makes this interview entirely soothing and fascinating. I’d love to hear more from her!

That smile in her eyes when asked about her childhood and how she'd go to the library with her mum...so precious

She was very meticulous in her answers, beautifully well done, and very inspiring

This woman has a sense of calm and peace that would be so useful in this setting. She is compassionate, articulate, warm and intelligent. I also like her commitment to self-reflection.

My older brother was an undiagnosed, unmedicated schozophrenic with alcoholism. He was becoming increasingly reckless, paranoid, and dangerous. I knew in my heart my brother was going to do something horrible as his illness continued to worsen. I knew he was going to hurt or kill someone. He did end up killing someone. Himself. It is the worst feeling in the world knowing that if he hadn't, it was inevitable that he was going to harm other people... but knowing that there is someone in the world that views people like my brother as human and worth compassion brings me great comfort.

I worked with Gwen at a medium secure unit and shes an expert at her job

I absolutely needed to hear this today. Hearing her say the worst she comes across are parents who abuse their children and are in denial. That’s so incredibly validating. Thank you

What i most admire about her is the fact she said all her patients were not “evil” but “sad”, and she also had compassion for the people who comitted such acts of violence. She is like the bright light you find at the end of a dark road, a beacon in the darkness. Her heart shines bright for you and fights for you to be at peace with yourself even if it seems impossible, whatever the circumstance, this lady is a very special person indeed.

For those who think her showing compassion for these people is terrible, and what about the victims, I'd say this; What she does helps get into the minds of these people, why they did those things, etc. In a very significant way, doing so gives us a chance to recognize the symptoms of extreme mental illness that leads to violence, which may lead to less violence/fewer victims in the future, and also could help future victims understand what happened to them (help them to cope, to not blame themselves, etc). Her job is not just about the perpetrators. Also, I wonder how many actually watched the entire video?
