Let's Get Naked About Mental Health!

<p>After almost committing suicide I decided to start talking and keep talking. It's a long story all contained in my podcast and website--and now the transcripts of the first 22 episodes are in this book.</p><p> </p><p>After 51 years I decided to stop living a life of quiet desperation. I decided to live it out loud and maybe help others do the same. So I keep talking and ask others to start listening.</p><p> </p><p>I want to challenge the stigma surrounding mental health as I discuss my journey with authenticity and compassion. Depression anxiety PTSD and the effects of childhood trauma are so misunderstood by both people struggling and their loved ones. I attempt to shed some light on the topics. </p><p> </p><p> As I say in my podcast I am not a psychologist psychologist therapist or any profession that ends in -ist. I am just a guy who has been there and may be there now. I'm still not doing it right but I am finally on the right path.</p><p> </p><p>You are welcome to follow along on my journey.</p>
