Thank you Dan for my free therapy yet again. Your so real… …….I love your last guest . So vulnerable…. You made her feel so at ease…. Sweet. …… delicate and sensitive… you treated her.. your number one 74 year old .
I can't believe people are actually slating her in the comments. She's been incredibly brave to even open up about her trauma and addiction nevermind on a popular podcast. She's trying, and after every relapse she decided to try again. Isn't that what were taught to do? I was a serial relapser until I managed to stay stopped. Credit to you young lady, keep fighting the fight ♥. And Dan, mate it's quality to see how much you've come on as a podcast host. You can see you made her feel so comfortable and want to open up to you. Never judged her once, only empathy. Love the podcast more every week. ♥ 🙏.
Great episode. You can tell Howa has the kindest of souls and a beautiful smile to go with it. Addictions can take us down dark paths, but that doesn't define the person- it defines the sheer impact of what these substances can do. We are human after all seeking release from whatever we have been through. It is important to remember that and be able to separate that from our true selves. I hope you can leave the crutch of substances in the past and begin to strive towards greater heights. Frequent exercise and lists of things I want to complete (both long and short term) are how I am able to stay on track. I hope this can help you too. PS Love the poetry. God bless you
That poem gave me goosebumps and made me emotional 🥺 You can do this 👊 Dan, you really are becoming such a wonderful person for so many to turn to. Irs amazing seeing how much sobriety now means to you, how much you love it and love helping others.
Real eye opener this one. Highlights the absolute state of the NHS! How does driving into a bridge at 80 mph to kill yourself not meet the criteria for the help you clearly need. I’d say I’m shocked but the way this country has gone to shit I’m not surprised one bit. Brilliant pod cast this one. Brave of Howa to come on and be so honest. 👏🏼👏🏼
8-11… I can relate… EMDR therapy saved my life… I really hope this lovely lady’s therapist recommends this… I was falsely diagnosed with bipolar… horribly medicated for years… then after suffering crippling dissociation disorder I was finally correctly diagnosed with CPTSD.. 11 years ago and referred for EMDR. I’m still in psychotherapy (I pay £60 a week… you can’t put a price on your mental well being) and probably always will be… but I’m well, functioning and stable… and off meds. my main goal in life has been to give my children a stable secure safe home and environment which I continue to achieve to this day.. parents need to do everything they can to protect their children from trauma whilst growing up… I believe this will prevent A LOT of mental health and addiction in the future… x amazing episode x thank you 🙏🏼
What to say when you talk to yourself is a great book for people who suffer with mental health. I went counselling from the age of 7 until 30, I’m now 40 and that book done more for me than keep going over the same stories with a counsellor.
10 weeks sober thanks to weekly uploads of this podcast. Dan is the fucking man! Love you brother. Not only am I sober I am a better father to my kids, a better husband to my wife, a better son to my parents, a better brother as well and a better person. Thanks man!
