No matter how underdeveloped or damaged your brain is and the emotions that come with it, with hard work and proper therapy, a person can retrain that.
Ever felt like you just don’t fit in? Terra Leben knows that feeling all too well. In this heartfelt episode of 'Project Recovery', Terra sits down with Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley to recount her harrowing journey from teenage substance abuse to becoming a beacon of hope for others. Terra opens up about her early struggles, including feeling out of place with her peers and contemplating suicide at just eight years old.
Her teenage years were marked by relapses in treatment, abuse from her boyfriend and his father, and the life-altering news of an unexpected pregnancy. But Terra's story doesn't end in despair. She found the strength to seek help, turning her darkest moments into a powerful narrative of recovery and resilience. Through therapy and self-compassion, she learned to rebuild her life and now works tirelessly to help others battling addiction.
This episode is a raw, honest look at the complexities of addiction and the incredible power of hope and hard work.
