Julian F's Journey: Childhood Trauma, Addiction, and Mental Health Insights

It amazes me how hearing someone else fighting too makes me want to fight harder, even when they have completely different problems and even if they're in a completely different place in their journey.
Julian F's life story is a whirlwind of relocations across Europe and South America, a 'Good Cop Bad Cop' parenting dynamic, and a confusing sense of self from an early age. In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', hosted by Paul Gilmartin, Julian opens up about his struggles with childhood trauma, addiction, and mania.
They dive deep into how these experiences have shaped his mental health journey, touching on the impact of constant moving, parental manipulation, and the bewildering feelings of being a 'little pervert' as a kid. Julian's candidness offers a raw look into the complexities of his past and present, making this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with similar issues or seeking to understand them better.
The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics like self-sabotage, spirituality, and the quest for happiness and sexuality. Whether you're looking for solace in shared experiences or insights into the intricacies of mental health, Julian's story is both eye-opening and relatable.
