Laurenne Sala: Shedding Masks and Embracing Healing on Mental Illness Happy Hour

I felt like a three-legged dog my whole life, and it's I'm meeting another three-legged dog and it's like: oh, I guess it's okay to.
Ever wondered what lies beneath the surface of someone who seems to have it all? In this eye-opening episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', Paul Gilmartin sits down with Laurenne Sala, a former Homecoming Queen who peels back the layers of her seemingly perfect life. Laurenne shares her deeply personal struggles with a co-dependent mother, the tragic suicide of her father, and the lasting scars of sexual abuse.
She doesn't hold back, speaking openly about the shame and unhealthy coping mechanisms that come with such experiences. But this isn't just a story of pain; it's also about the journey to healing. Laurenne talks about the transformative power of therapy and the importance of confronting toxic relationships. She and Paul delve into how childhood trauma can shape adult relationships and the human yearning for genuine connection.
Laurenne's raw honesty is both heart-wrenching and inspiring, offering listeners a sense of solidarity and hope. As she poignantly puts it, 'I felt like a three-legged dog my whole life, and meeting another three-legged dog made me realize it’s okay.' If you're ready to shed your own masks and seek healing, this episode is a must-listen.
