I'm not fucking embarrassed about that shit anymore. Stop it, try and find the real you and life will be a million times better.
What happens when a young boy's life is filled with trauma, only to later find himself homeless and battling alcoholism? In this episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down', Dr. Robb Kelly opens up about his tumultuous journey from a painful childhood to becoming a respected behavioral science expert. Imagine being burned with cigarettes by your babysitter or sexually abused by a trusted choirmaster. For Dr. Kelly, these weren't just nightmares; they were his reality.
His attempts to seek help from his mother were met with disbelief and punishment, further deepening his wounds. Playing in adult venues with his family band at the tender age of nine exposed him to more than any child should ever see. These early experiences paved the way for his struggles with alcohol, which he initially believed fueled his creativity. By 15, he was already relying on alcohol to get through auditions at Abbey Road studios.
Despite hitting rock bottom and ending up homeless, Dr. Kelly's story is one of remarkable transformation. He found solace in spirituality and faith, leading him to hear a divine message that recovery is possible. Now, as a behavioral science expert, he dedicates his life to helping others overcome addiction and mental health challenges. Dr. Kelly doesn't shy away from critiquing the rehab industry, highlighting its flaws such as the pressure to fill beds and the lack of personalized care.
He emphasizes the power of self-love and acceptance in the recovery journey and shares how trauma impacts the addicted brain. Intriguingly, he also discusses how boxing can be a powerful tool for building discipline and strength. This episode is a raw and honest look at the resilience of the human spirit. Dr. Kelly's journey is a powerful reminder that no matter how dark the past, there's always a path to healing and helping others.
