I Wasn’t Supposed to Survive This: A Therapist’s Raw Truth
A therapist tells the truth most professionals are trained to hide.
In this raw and unfiltered mental health story, I open up not just as a therapist, but as a human being — a gay man, autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, a trauma survivor, a grieving son, and a recovering self-harmer.
This video goes into the messy reality of self-harm recovery, grief after losing a parent, male sexual assault, trauma, suicidal thoughts, neurodivergence, shame, survival, and healing. Not the polished version. Not the inspirational quote version. The real version. The ugly, painful, human version.
Healing is not always beautiful. Sometimes healing is crying on the bathroom floor. Sometimes it is relapsing and choosing to try again. Sometimes it is saying the thing out loud that you thought would destroy you.
This is for anyone hiding scars, carrying grief, surviving trauma, feeling broken, or wondering whether staying alive is enough.
It is.
Your pain matters.
Your story matters.
You matter.
Topics covered: mental health, therapist story, trauma recovery, self-harm recovery, grief, losing my mum, male rape survivor, sexual assault survivor, suicidal thoughts, LGBTQ mental health, autistic therapist, ADHD, dyslexia, neurodivergent mental health, healing trauma, surviving shame, raw mental health talk.
