Now it's the beginning, like the tip of the iceberg, of an amazing feeling of self-discovery and like a second, like, this is the beginning of my understanding, my life as it's meant to be, as opposed to yeah, and that comes with a whole lot of self-doubt as well.
Luke Colson, host of 'Well, That F*cked Me Up' podcast, opens up about his harrowing experiences with childhood trauma and addiction in this episode of 'In Lehmann's Terms'. At just 12 years old, Luke witnessed the tragic death of a friend, an event that left deep emotional scars and led to struggles with depression and anxiety. As he navigated his teenage years and adulthood, these unresolved issues spiraled into severe cocaine and alcohol addiction.
Luke candidly discusses how his addictions cost him dearly, including losing custody of his children and hitting rock bottom. But this isn't just a tale of despair. Luke shares how EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy became a turning point in his life, helping him process his traumatic past and rebuild his self-belief. Now sober for four years, Luke emphasizes the power of vulnerability and the importance of seeking help.
He highlights the role of community and connection in recovery, shedding light on how breaking the stigma around mental health and addiction can pave the way for healing. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of resilience and recovery, offering hope and practical insights for anyone affected by similar struggles.
