I think nothing is by accident and I think that I feel privileged to know that this support group exists and to be able to go out there and spread the message, because a lot of people in this support group they come by way of other support groups, but this is my first support group.
Ever wondered how childhood trauma shapes adult relationships? Rebecca D, a friend from Paul Gilmartin's support group, shares her deeply personal journey in this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour'. Rebecca opens up about her father's covert incest, where he treated her more like a dating advisor than a daughter. This twisted dynamic led to her love-avoidant behavior and addictions to fantasy and marijuana. But that's not where her story ends.
Rebecca dives into the healing power of platonic intimacy and support groups, showing how compassion for oneself and others can pave the way to recovery. Her reflections are raw and honest, encouraging listeners to embrace vulnerability and share their own stories. Tune in for an episode that's as enlightening as it is heartfelt.
