I've really tried to take advantage of the advent of social media and its ubiquity and posting about being unashamed to post my scars.
Ever wondered what it's like to confront the dark reality of self-injury and emerge stronger? In this compelling episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', Ben Moroski, an award-nominated writer and actor, opens up about his harrowing journey with self-injury. Raised in a strict religious household, Ben battled guilt and shame for years, often feeling isolated in his struggles.
His first L.A.-produced play, 'This Vicious Minute', sheds light on these personal battles and has received critical acclaim for its raw honesty. Ben's story isn't just about his struggles; it's about finding community, seeking therapy, and breaking the silence that surrounds self-injury. He dives deep into how religion impacted his mental health, the crucial role of better mental healthcare resources, and the influence of social media on his recovery.
Ben also tackles the need to dismantle gender stereotypes in mental health discussions. This episode isn't just a story—it's a call to action to break down stigmas and find hope in recovery. Tune in to hear Ben's powerful narrative and gain insights into the ongoing challenges and triumphs in the world of mental health.
