Episode Overview
- Music can be a powerful tool for self-expression and finding community.

When you're feeding a depressant to a depression, it makes it even worse.
Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? Dive into the latest episode of 'Life Unscripted - Stories of Mental Health and Addiction' featuring Darcy Patrick, the inspiring author of 'Why I Run'. Darcy, a public speaker and writing coach, candidly shares his lifelong journey with depression, beginning from his childhood when he struggled with a speech impediment.
As he opens up about his experiences, Darcy reveals how music became a refuge during his teenage years, offering him a sense of belonging and an outlet for self-expression. However, as he ventured into adulthood, the pressures of the music industry and the introduction of alcohol as a coping mechanism led to a darker phase in his life.
The conversation takes a hopeful turn as Darcy recounts how cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helped him rewire his thought patterns, teaching him to replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Darcy's story is a testament to the power of self-discovery and transformation, as he channels his experiences into writing books that aim to help others navigate their mental health challenges. Join host Janice Arnoldi and guest Darcy Patrick for an inspiring discussion on finding strength and healing in unexpected places.
