I'm just recently learning, I think, how to let a woman love me because I'm starting to love me and, as I've heard you say, like that me saying that makes me want to be sick, like me, having just copying to like.
Picture growing up with a father who was a violent ex-Notre Dame football player and a mother who was mentally unstable and sexually abusive. This is the backdrop of Joe Bill's childhood, which he candidly shares in this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour' with host Paul Gilmartin. Joe, a longtime friend and improv teacher, opens up about his tumultuous upbringing and how it has shaped his struggles with shame, codependency, and self-love.
Despite these challenges, Joe found a lifeline in creativity, using improv comedy as a way to cope and connect with others. Throughout their conversation, Paul and Joe explore the impact of toxic masculinity, the weight of Catholic guilt, and the transformative power of therapy. Joe’s story is not just about surviving trauma; it's about finding hope and healing through vulnerability and self-expression. If you're looking for an honest and heartfelt discussion on overcoming adversity, this episode is a must-listen.
