Now look at me, I'm thriving, I'm surviving.
Imagine enduring a childhood filled with trauma and neglect, only to emerge as a beacon of hope for others. That's the story of Wil Prescher, who joins Jason LaChance on 'Knockin' Doorz Down' to share his powerful journey. Wil's memoir, 'This Is Me Trying: Navigating Through A Lifetime of Trauma', captures his experiences of overcoming generational trauma and sexual abuse.
Born into a tumultuous environment with an absent father and a drug-addicted mother, Wil faced immense challenges from a young age. He was placed in the foster care system at seven, bouncing from home to home across Texas until he was nearly 13. It was in a loving foster home in Walnut Springs, Texas, that Wil finally found stability and an adoptive family.
In this episode, Wil opens up about the deep emotional scars left by his early years and how they led him to alcohol as a means of feeling something amidst the numbness. Diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, Wil has spent years learning to manage his condition while striving to help others in similar situations. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of forgiveness.
Wil discusses the crucial role music played in his healing process and the importance of addressing trauma in youth. He also sheds light on the distinction between substance abuse and addiction, offering valuable insights for those on their own recovery journeys. The conversation delves into how writing his memoir has impacted his life and the significance of finding support in others. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and hope.
Wil Prescher's story reminds us that no matter how dark our past may be, there is always a path to healing and a brighter future ahead.
