I think it's so important to have a support system, whether it's a therapist or a friend or a support group, to help you through that process of healing and to remind you that you're not alone.
Imagine being born into chaos and then handed over to a world of rigid rules and fear. Julie J knows this story all too well. Raised by a strict military father and a Fundamentalist mother obsessed with demons, her childhood was anything but ordinary. In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', Julie opens up about her early life, marked by adoption and religious abuse, and how these experiences shaped her mental health journey.
Host Paul Gilmartin creates a space where Julie can speak freely about the challenges she faced and the resilience she found within herself. They dive into the lasting impact of childhood trauma, the importance of self-compassion, and how therapy can be a lifeline. Julie's story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and offers hope to anyone grappling with similar issues.
Her candid reflections remind us that even in the darkest times, there is a path to healing.
