Justin B. Long: Healing from Childhood Trauma and Finding Sobriety
“I did the things, and so when I understood that we used what's called emdr therapy, which changes the emotions that are attached to memories- and I tell you it is the most profound thing that's ever happened to me in my life- is that I was able to have a positive self-image of myself at all of those age ranges, doing all of the things that I was doing and that changed who I feel like I am.”

Long opens up about his turbulent journey from a traumatic childhood to battling alcoholism and finally finding a path to recovery.
