Siblings John and Megan Brehman: From Silence to Healing

The purpose is to just try to identify dynamics that happened in our past and say how do we move forward with who we are today and what we know about ourselves.
Imagine growing up in a home where appearances were everything, but emotional connection was scarce. That's the reality siblings John and Megan Brehman faced. In this heartfelt episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', they sit down with host Paul Gilmartin to share their deeply personal journey through depression and eating disorders. Raised in an affluent household, the Brehmans grappled with a mother more focused on maintaining a facade of normalcy than on addressing their emotional needs.
John recounts his struggles with self-harm, while Megan opens up about her battle with non-purging bulimia and compulsive exercising. Despite these challenges, their story is one of resilience and the transformative power of vulnerability. They highlight the importance of asking for help and connecting with those who can offer genuine emotional support. This episode isn't just about their struggles; it's about the healing that comes from breaking the silence and sharing your story.
If you're looking for a candid discussion on mental health that offers both insight and hope, this conversation is a must-listen.
