I did the things, and so when I understood that we used what's called emdr therapy, which changes the emotions that are attached to memories- and I tell you it is the most profound thing that's ever happened to me in my life- is that I was able to have a positive self-image of myself at all of those age ranges, doing all of the things that I was doing and that changed who I feel like I am.
Ever wondered how childhood experiences shape our adult lives? In this episode of 'Recovery For Real', Justin B. Long opens up about his turbulent journey from a traumatic childhood to battling alcoholism and finally finding a path to recovery. His story is not just about the dark days but also about the light at the end of the tunnel.
Justin’s book, 'The Righteous Rage of a Ten-Year-Old Boy', dives deep into his early life, revealing how negative self-image and unresolved trauma led him down a destructive path. But it’s also a testament to the power of therapy and self-acceptance. Through EMDR therapy, Justin managed to reframe his painful memories and build a healthier self-image. He shares candid insights on the importance of sponsorship and the varied paths one can take to recovery.
This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with their past and seeking a way forward. Join host Dave Koch and Justin as they discuss resilience, hope, and the transformative power of facing your demons head-on.
