Dylan Brody: Finding Strength Through Self-Acceptance and Martial Arts

I feel as though there are enough people living with shame and if I could just talk openly about it, despite a little bit of shame, it might open up some people's worlds toward who they are.
Have you ever felt weighed down by shame or struggled to find the right balance with medication? Writer and storyteller Dylan Brody knows these battles all too well. In this compelling episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin chats with Brody about his lifelong journey towards self-acceptance. Dylan opens up about his unique challenges, including an amputation fetish that has caused him significant shame and the ups and downs of managing mental health with medication.
But it's not all dark clouds; Dylan also shares how martial arts have provided him with a sense of control and relief from depression and anxiety. His candidness about suicidal thoughts and the importance of positive self-talk offers a raw but hopeful look at mental health. Creativity plays a crucial role in Dylan's life, helping him process his experiences and connect with others.
From writing a one-woman musical about bipolar disorder and addiction to discussing his father's influence on his personality, Dylan's story is a testament to the power of embracing one's true self. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration to live authentically, despite the stigma that often accompanies mental health struggles.
