It's a brave process, and so I sit in admiration of this man who's years old and in touch with himself enough to know that it's okay to sometimes feel that little kid inside who is wounded and then to redirect and reparent.
Ever wondered how couples navigate the stormy seas of trauma while trying to keep their relationship afloat? In this touching episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', Paul Gilmartin sits down with Zachary Goodson and his wife Sarah to explore just that. Zachary opens up about his harrowing past, from losing his mother to cancer at the tender age of three to enduring an abusive father.
As a coping mechanism, he turned to sex, which only led him to hit rock bottom. But that wasn’t the end of his story—it was the beginning of his journey toward healing. With Sarah by his side, Zachary shares how they work on their marriage while dealing with their individual traumas. Their conversation delves into the complexities of intimacy, society’s often misguided perceptions of sexual fantasies, and the impact of cultural and racial biases.
What’s truly remarkable is their raw honesty and vulnerability, making this episode not just a story of struggle but one of profound resilience and love. Sarah’s words resonate deeply: 'It's a brave process, and so I sit in admiration of this man who's years old and in touch with himself enough to know that it's okay to sometimes feel that little kid inside who is wounded and then to redirect and reparent'.
This episode offers a heartfelt look at how love can be a powerful force for healing, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with trauma, addiction, or relationship challenges.
