When I found the courage and the strength to tell my story, holy shit, not only was it not uncommon, it's extremely common, right.
Theo Fleury, a name many recognize from his stellar hockey career, joins Ryan Wynder in this powerful episode of 'The Vegas Therapist'. But this conversation isn't about his time on the ice; it's about his journey through the shadows of trauma and addiction to emerge as a beacon of hope and resilience. Theo's life story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to heal and transform.
In their candid chat, Theo opens up about his tumultuous childhood marked by abuse and how he coped with emotional pain through self-destructive behaviors. Today, he's not just a survivor but a victor over his past, using his experiences to help others navigate their own struggles. His best-selling books, 'Playing with Fire' and 'Conversations with a Rattlesnake', are more than memoirs; they're practical guides for anyone seeking healing or looking to support someone else through their trauma.
Ryan and Theo delve into the current mental health crisis, exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, and discuss how these times have triggered old wounds for many. They explore the concept of 'Real Conversations', emphasizing the power of vulnerability and connection in healing. Theo passionately talks about the importance of doing the work required for change and how sharing our stories can be a powerful tool for recovery.
The episode is a treasure trove of insights on practicing good habits, overcoming negative beliefs, and managing anxiety and stress. As Theo puts it, 'When I found the courage and the strength to tell my story, holy shit, not only was it not uncommon, it's extremely common'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with trauma or supporting someone who is. It’s an inspiring reminder that while our past shapes us, it doesn't have to define us.
