I guess one of the things I think about often is, yeah, my ability to experience my emotions and just to be able to sit with them, and I think that's important.
Ever wondered how early trauma can shape your emotional world? In this episode of 'Atheists in Recovery', Luke C opens up about the profound impact his mother's death had on him at just ten years old. Growing up, Luke found himself hiding his emotions to cope, adhering to a rigid 'masculinity code' that stifled his true self.
But a turning point came when a friend helped him break through his denial, revealing that his mom's life and death were both lessons waiting to be learned. Luke's recovery began with those first tentative steps into therapy, where vulnerability became his new strength. He shares how mentors played a pivotal role in his journey, offering guidance and support when he needed it most.
Luke also delves into the healthy habits he's cultivated over time—like exercising, journaling, and focusing his attention—that have been instrumental in his recovery. This episode isn't just about one man's story; it's a testament to the power of facing your emotions and finding safe spaces for healing. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Luke's insights offer valuable lessons on the importance of emotional health and resilience.
