I think a lot of people are rightfully afraid of therapy, in the sense that, like one of the reasons that you go to therapy is to unload a lot of the things that you've been pushing underneath, whatever it is that you're doing, to not take responsibility or to not feel those things.
Imagine facing Stage IV cancer while the world watches. Comedian Jesse Case did just that, and he's here to share his incredible journey on 'The Traumedy Hour'. Hosted by Lauryn Petrie and Jonas Barnes, this episode dives deep into Jesse's life, where laughter meets some of life's harshest realities. Jesse opens up about his public fight against cancer, the mental health challenges that came with it, and his struggles with addiction.
This isn't just a tale of survival; it's a raw and honest conversation about finding humor amidst pain and the importance of therapy in healing trauma. Jesse also touches on the tricky balance of making jokes about sensitive topics and how social media can both help and hinder that process. With his signature wit, Jesse offers insights into forgiveness and letting go of resentment, making this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with their own battles.
Tune in for a candid chat that promises to leave you both moved and entertained.
