Jesse Harless joins Mary Tilson on the Sun & Moon Sober Living Podcast to discuss his journey through childhood trauma, addiction, and his mission to build psychological safety in various environments. Jesse, a coach and facilitator in trauma-informed care, shares his personal story of overcoming early trauma, including his father's addiction and subsequent brain injury, which left Jesse searching for solace in unhealthy behaviours.
His path to recovery began with a court-ordered AA attendance after a brush with the law, which led him to transformative experiences and a career dedicated to helping others find safety and connection in their recovery journeys. Jesse's work now spans training for companies, recovery organisations, and mental health centres, focusing on creating supportive workplaces and communities. He emphasises the importance of psychological safety and how it can drastically improve outcomes in addiction recovery and mental health support.
Jesse's candid reflections on his own struggles and successes offer valuable insights into the complexities of addiction and the power of supportive environments. Tune in to hear Jesse's inspiring story and learn practical tips for fostering psychological safety in your own life or organisation.
