Dora's Raw Tale: Surviving a Mental Breakdown and Embracing Sobriety

I still have a great life, I'm still doing amazing things, I'm still working on my recovery, and that insane thinking and that insanity cycle of nuts is not forever. But when I am in that moment experiencing it, it feels like forever.
Ever felt like everything's falling apart, and you're left picking up the pieces? Dora Gosselin knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of Soberoso, she opens up about her recent mental breakdown, offering a raw and unfiltered look at her struggles and triumphs. Dora doesn't shy away from discussing the emotional turmoil, racing thoughts, and the sheer insanity that led her to hit rock bottom.
She paints a vivid picture of how difficult it can be to reach out for help when your mind is telling you to keep secrets that only make you sicker. But this episode isn't just about the breakdown; it's about the breakthrough. Dora shares the invaluable lessons she learned through this crisis and the steps she's taking to bring balance and self-love back into her life.
She talks about the 'gifts of sobriety' and how they helped her navigate this dark period. Special mentions go to Lizzie Allan from Hilarapy, who inspired Dora to create a 'WINS list' after her breakdown, and Macklemore, whose honesty at Recovery Day BC gave her the courage to be vulnerable. Dora also gives a shout-out to Andrea from insponation.org for her insights on trauma and healing, and Sabrina, her mentor and spiritual guide.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with mental health issues or addiction. It's a testament to the power of vulnerability and the importance of seeking help.
