Kal's Story: From Trauma to Advocacy on Mental Illness Happy Hour

There's a very interesting relationship between reality and their ideological belief system that everything is destined and everything is in god's hands.
Ever thought about how trauma can shape one's desires? Kal's story on this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour' sheds light on this complex and often misunderstood topic. Host Paul Gilmartin sits down with Kal, who opens up about his harrowing experiences of childhood abuse at the hands of a sadistic pedophile Rabbi. Kal's journey is one of immense pain but also incredible resilience.
Growing up in a restrictive Jewish community, he faced not only physical abuse but also a lack of emotional support and understanding. Kal recounts his years of self-destruction and addiction, detailing how these dark times eventually led him to seek sobriety and healing. His story is not just about survival; it's about finding purpose in advocacy for other survivors. Kal now works tirelessly to help others navigate the complicated emotions that come with trauma and desire.

Kal's bravery in sharing his story provides a beacon of hope, showing that healing and advocacy can go hand in hand.
