The seeking of the help you're already vulnerable, it's not going to make you any more vulnerable, to go and get help if the people around you aren't supportive, which is not a thing I've ever suffered from.
Imagine blending raw honesty with humor while tackling heavy topics like trauma and mental health. That's exactly what happens when Chris PG sits down with comedian John Robertson in this episode of Mental Health Bar. Known for his unique blend of comedy and candidness, Robertson opens up about his personal battles with severe trauma and the unexpected ways he’s learned to cope, including a quirky story about a rubber duck that resembles the owner of Wetherspoons.
Robertson’s journey through grief and the concept of becoming 'addicted to grief' are both heart-wrenching and eye-opening. He emphasizes that seeking help doesn't make you more vulnerable; in fact, it can be a powerful step toward healing, especially when surrounded by supportive relationships.

They discuss how humor can be a lifeline during tough times, offering a unique perspective on coping mechanisms that might just leave you laughing through your tears. Whether you're struggling with your own mental health or just curious about the intersection of comedy and trauma, this episode promises to be both enlightening and entertaining.
