Recovery is not a straight line. Sometimes it feels like you take two steps forward and three steps back. But it's worth it to keep moving forward.
When life throws its hardest punches, sometimes the best stories emerge from the struggle. In this episode of 'The Traumedy Hour', hosts Lauryn Petrie and Jonas Barnes sit down with filmmaker Andrew Roger Carson, who opens up about his tumultuous journey through addiction and recovery.

From the depths of despair to the slow climb back to stability, Andrew doesn't hold back. He talks about hitting rock bottom, the moments when he nearly gave up, and the unexpected lifelines that pulled him back from the edge. His candid discussion sheds light on how trauma has influenced his creativity and writing, offering a raw look at the often-hidden struggles behind the scenes in the film industry.
Lauryn and Jonas create a safe, non-judgmental space for Andrew to speak freely, making this episode not just a conversation but a form of therapy in itself. They explore the role of therapy in Andrew's recovery, the complexities of using antidepressants, and the relentless pressures of working in entertainment. One of the most poignant takeaways from this episode is Andrew's reminder that 'Recovery is not a straight line.
