Sean Strickland Gets Real About His Past Trauma 

Aight beta

@@fatty828 "AiGhT bEtA" enjoy being a depressed middle aged man because you can't cope with the fact you have feelings. It's WAY easier to just brush it off and pretend you don't care than it is to admit you're in pain.

​@@fatty828Only people I know irl that think about apha and beta look like mclovin

@@brandongratta9040 you sound very feminine and beta. Im sure you use words like "insecure" and "fragile" as well dont you beta? Haha

@@patrickstar4132 ok beta

Well said my guy...👍👏

Don’t get emotional

Its very tough but if you can get through it, it means you're tougher strickland is a prime exapmle.

He sounds like a dude that sucks cocks

Having a stable environment makes all the difference in the world, as obvious as that may seem.

Dude, no! He should've MILKED him, made him cry MORE! Seeing a grown ass man cry is funniest sh-t, bro! No cap!!

+100000000000

I know, I love that he said that.

he said "I can just sit with you here for a minute" which somehow sounds even better

after his failed piss joke attempt...

This is why Mike Tyson didn't want his kids to become fighters, he knows they aren't like him.

ig you gotta draw on the feelings you felt during trauma to feel like you'd rather die than lose again

@@Fatty918 id rather die than feel like i did at some points. fear of your own vulnerability is what drives a lotta people.

Sean is too!

@@ruutjormun2262 but you didn't and there's a reason we keep on going. Life is a gift and you, to a great degree, have its reins in your hands. Even in old age and with a terminal illness.

I swear Theo just has unconditional love for everybody doesn't matter who you are

As a therapist i agree

serious question, what you think about him involving the wife of a fighter, or their traditions or sexuallity? I mean I really get his trauma and I feel for him but at the same time I don't think it's okay to go around involving fighters personal life. because I get that his trauma is more low, but then don't provoke people you know what I mean? maybe just his defense mechanism to attack everyone but you can't just justify all the things that he says. again this is a serious question since you are a therapist. Thank you.

​@@andrestrejo6971as a youtube comment specialist, I think everyone that has an open relationship shouldn't be binded with anyone. I still believe in monogamy

nothing to do with the point, that his personal choice, read my comment again it was a serious question to a therapist, not to a youtube comment specialist@@MarkDanger777

Your so right. A lot of people now would get awkward. He was just there and present. Impressive.

Theo is great but it’s also sad as it highlights how many people lack god damn empathy this day in age

@@Seryma86 was about to say.. sometimes i feel like a fell into a timewarp and got spat out decades later into this weird society we have these days..

@@clarkecorvo2692I absolutely get it. The world is nuts, and honestly why I went through some dark times (not just bc of the state of things but medical issues, etc) and just kinda lost my way in terms of just fading into the background. But everyday even when feeling awful I would make it a point to be decent to others and be able to put myself in their shoes and understand everyone has struggles, and some people’s are truly debilitating to functioning normally aka healthily. It’s tough for people that really get effected by the horrible stuff that goes on, and just thinking why are these things happening? why are we allowing these things to happen with no major changes being made to maybe make a difference in areas. We’re living in a weird world and it’s only going to get crazier imo. I did figure out that what I really want to do in life is help others, in one way or another. Have tried different positions over the past couple years to try and find the right niche

That's the word I was looking for empathy empathy just man do you feel that connection because you know he's real and he he's been through a lot of the same shit some of us having you know and struggled and just you know lucky to make it out to the side I mean hell I'm 51 and I'm still struggling hard song but at least you know I found him I found Theo and Billy strings the last couple days and I've been watching the crap out of them guys and they both gave me hope man which is probably the biggest thing right if you don't have hope you mean what you got and I got love I love my two kids but but that's you know I still got to get my head through stuff but we're all trying God bless

well said man

Prophet

God did not send this POS. 😂 hes literally a braindead lunatic that lucked out he can fight. Hes worthless in character. And anyone praising him needs to do a deeeep self reflection.....

no @@JPLAviation

❤ so necessary

Most pro fighters have extremely traumatic pasts. This is not uncommon at all- they start fighting to deal with frustration or being forced to defend themselves- and decide to train to harness that anger and master their movement. Something clicks in their brain to make them actually enjoy the violence and I think it’s because they finally have a say in the participation of this “pain”. It’s therapeutic and freeing to them after they have the power to embrace the suck. This is quite typical tbh & I know because I’m dating someone that used to box/jui jitsu and got in a LOT of trouble in the past due to his strength.

@@alicekat11 generalizing things wayyyy too much

@@Abdullah_D_Luffy but he isnt wrong though, this is what many fighters do

@@alicekat11sit down Alice!

@@romanov7723 you’re saying most fighters don’t want to make a career out of it? Because that’s what Sean was saying, Sean was saying that it wasn’t even about a career, he didn’t even know careers existed. He just felt that the actual sport itself abroad him for fulfillment without even having a future, set in mind towards it

Nah, he was thinking "can't let sean get all the attention, time to act!"

@@chrisivan_ytright like what 😂 but at the same time i do kinda feel bad

@@chrisivan_ytthat’s how men like his father are created, telling someone to just “man up” and push their emotions aside just leads to explosive anger and drug abuse

​@chrisivan_yt it's called indoctrination. Realize how intelligent a person must be to think through being taught all that B.S. as a child but still not think that way. Imagine if all of Palastine or ww2 erra Germans could have done the same. Guess what, if you grew up in nazi Germany you would be murdering people cause you ain't intelligent enough to reject that indoctrination.

I'm so very happy for you, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.

Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏

YES very sure of Mr.medmushies. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, BPD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

How do I reach out to him? Is he on telegram

Shut up

Was ruthlessly mocking Rountree for crying and opening up about his trauma just some months ago. Still its hard not to feel compassion for him. He had a horrible life. Thats probably why he has to be so cruel and hating sometimes

@@francescolapietra930When all you know from birth is hatred and cruelty then in moments of discomfort that’s what you’ll turn to, because it’s what’s familiar

@@francescolapietra930 As the old saying goes, "hurt people hurt people" (as in people who have been hurt tend to in turn hurt people). Sean seems to be an example of someone who probably doesn't genetically have anything wrong with him in terms of his mental health, but his experiences in life have given him a burden of almost uncontrollable rage and probably a diminished capacity for empathy. He's not evil, but he's haunted.

Sean "I am an alpha male and everyone else are betas. men who cries are betas. my dad used to beat me when i was a child and i am still having trauma to this day huhuhu sorry for crying in every interviews" Strickland

Who noticed that Sean's voice cracked when he mentioned the fact that all the abuse he suffered made him stop believing in God? I'm happy that he found God and his spirituality. 🙏

You respect him for being racist!? Wow you must be racist too

@@bluesoul7163 man that hit me like a ton of bricks, that is some really really heavy dark stuff to see someone bring up and deal with on camera like this

@@bluesoul7163 A belief in a higher power helps those who can't come to terms with tragedy in their lives. A corrupt church and seeing how so many Christians act made me lose faith in middle school (30 now and never looked back though Buddhism has helped more than Christianity ever did for me), but one of my aunts lost her husband and both children and believes more than ever and I think that's helpful for her. I always encourage her in whatever she finds helps. It is good now with the internet that people can find spirituality in other ways than the corrupt and evil modern Christianity, hopefully with more people not believing we'll see the next generation find meaning in better spiritual ways than the judgmental and horrible modern Christian ways.

Dudes need to get over that shit for real. If something traumatic or bad enough happens to the point you feel you’re about to break “go insane”, letting that shit out can do wonders to regrouping.

@@Seryma86step a foot into his life man, stop talking and start understanding

Yes something real , unlike those of whom cry and hissy fit over being misgendered. Pathetic, they would not know a hard upbringing if it but them on the ass. This right here with Sean is worthy of acknowledgement. This right here is worthy of our attention .

@@ilse_22 he has no idea what it's like so he spews shit to make himself feel better and seem smart and "helpful".

​@@Seryma86Good words, and I agree with the sentiment But then you've got men like me, whose mother would relentlessly beat him if he cried. I literally can't cry for myself - I can cry for others, for an emotional movie, story, etc - but I cannot cry for myself because my subconscious is convincing someone 2-3x my size will run in and beat me as hard they can

@@ComommonlyCensoredit’s an honest and irrelevant question.

@@ComommonlyCensoredthis is a good question. I hope OP doesn’t get offended. It’s a legit question that needs to be asked. Those of us who struggle tend to be the ones who help others who are struggling. I have had very little help from “stable” families. Just judgement and pity, with no intent to actually help. Really the pity was to make them feel better, about themselves. Which is okay. They have no obligation to help us. But, the feigned caring can be frustrating.

@@ComommonlyCensored Do you?

Amen brother we need more men willing to show their pain and be able too smash your head inside out if you want too mock that. I just wondered at first if Theo was tearing up because he made Sean cry…. I would have thought this is my last podcast. You can’t be a Richard Simmons trying too be a leader in us showing our internal war as men. This man is the perfect one too show it’s ok. I’ve done time and struggled with anger as a result of a brain injury from a snowboarding accident when i 14 changed my behaviour growing up for the worst, but the most anger I kept pent up was from that feeling of being alone too battle it, I talked too friends and family and they don’t understand your internal fight which in turn makes it worse too fight. I’m a believer in not seeking out the answer it will be given to you when the time is right. I still haven’t found it but videos like this help a lot especially when you can relate but see that strength from Sean that most of us don’t want too let out in fear of being seen weak. This guys good role model a good inspiration, made mistakes in life as we all do, learned from it and uses his platform to give people the help he never had. He’s there in that seat for a reason he suffered for a reason and it’s too help men struggling too talk about what’s eating them inside. I love this guy because I’m Canadian and he bashed Trudeau good up here lol

I bet you treat your other relationships really well

Thank you for that. I was one of those bad kids. I acted out terribly in school because my home life was hell. I acted out to teachers and the principle to get attention from adults. What I wanted was them to sit me down and say hey, what is going on with you. Some did and I am grateful. I wasn't a bad kid in deep inside though. I just didn't have the social skills needed to guide me nor the nourishment in my belly to keep my mind from finding focusing on school work impossible. I appreciate that you are reconsidering and I hope that maybe some of those I went to school with 40 years ago can do the same.

Theo wearing the ultimate therapy sweater and having this bad ass man break down is epic! If Sean or anyone that knows the man reads this : I'm a grown ass man pleading with you talk a Jordan Peterson type or the man himself to start processing this. Do Not give those fuckers the satisfaction of terrorizing you even when they are gone!

Living in a shitty home life like that, only to go to school thinking you can escape for a little bit only to be shit on and ridiculed there too.

​​@@BeansMcGriddleyeah I saw this happen to one of my classmates. His home was truly hell yet he still had a soft heart, but he couldn't concentrate on any of his schoolwork or do his homework and missed alot of school too, his teachers gave him absolute hell for this and I used to think "if only you knew what he was going home to" They'd probably have shut the fuck up then and considered how to actually help him rather than adding to his misery and stress

No child deserves abuse, but....all of that made him what he is today. Like myself, I've been through some shit, pretty similar to his story and then much more in my late teens.... I wouldn't want to change that, because I learned and grew from that.

@@cliffordlaport4322 The idea of "believing in ourselves" is wholely satanic. The first lie of the serpent ever told to humanity (to Eve) in the garden.

I'm not a single father man...My dad was tho & he got custody 9f me and my sister. He was a strict fundamentalist (nothing wrong with that), my mom left because of these strict rules.....But I was the oldest and beared,the brunt of my dad's frustration w/wife leaving & I was very mouthy.. I say all that to say, That in this day and age they would say I was abused. But I wouldn't have become the homeschooling father that I am now. I wasn't a teacher before Covid. But all the things I seen as over done punishments is what made me. Diamonds aren't made in a vacuum. Pressure is how we get these gems. The 80/90's were a different time. It's more strange for a man to strangle those emotions down then it is to sit and talk trauma out. I went on to ride bulls and suffered TBI's that led into epileptic seizures. But all of those things I misunderstood as abuse is what give me the spine to stand up and get up everyday. My mother di3d suddenly in 2019 and I used to say the best thing my mother ever did for us, Was that she left us... But now that she has passed on, I see why Mt dad was the way he was. Doesn't chamg3 history but I understand now and my teenage angst is gone. Very good clip Theo.

With you. My experience was every category of abuse, bouts of couch surfing as a kid, sleeping in a business storage room, the bullying that goes along with poverty. Got therapy, which helped, but there was still that hole in my soul. I had an ephifany...free will is love, free will can be influenced, Satan and his legions influenced my hazers to get me to blame God (where Sean is stuck here, which I get, but hope he sees it the adversary who whispered into the mind of his dad)...and that God is who gave me, Sean, you, us the capacity to survive. We are men, now, and the choice of good or evil is ours, every moment of every day. Therapy was useful, but seeking Christ earnestly changed everything for me. I didn't know that type of love existed...had no concept of it...or how He would change me. That all that pain of past could be retroactively converted into usefulness..into purpose ..into a gift. He is the ANTIDOTE, which is why the wicked that has ruled the world has programmed us against ever reading his instruction and love directly for ourselves.

Sorry to say brother but I can’t stand you people that promote god by using someone’s trauma to lure them

Was a latchkey kid too and that was my go to when things got tough

That's what Max Holloway alwasy says too "Es lo que es - it is what it is."

Not profound. If you live that life, the only way to move on and understand it is that exactly " it is what is" so realize it. Learn from it and let it go.

Really? Even when Sean was making fun ofnother guys for being emotional? Really?

@@DaveRedsky pseudo macho man with fragile ego

dude just said he wants to kill people and hurt them to make him happy because his dad was an abusive asshole, that inspired you to cry? god damn it, no surprise our children are completely fucking dumb these days. only thing you should have taken away from this is that you should treat your children nicely, or they might become a world champ of ufc and still be a ticking bomb to hurt someone.

God bless you for being man enough and wise enough to speak the truth. 🇺🇲 There are so many men that have very similar stories and have faced drama and it consumed their life. We as men were taught that it was wrong and weak to ever show emotions. I am in my 40's and the older you are the worst it gets. I grew up in Dothan and it brought me right back to those moments that made me what I am today. God bless all of the good men who break the cycle. 🙏🏼

And yet Sean has spent months going at Ian Garry for being a man, marrying a woman, adopting her child and creating a loving family. Irony much??

Last thing I give a damn about is watching the champion of a division start blubbering on soft touch podcasts, taking precious little sips from his water inbetween sobs. And now you've got women talking about how brave you are for crying on camera dude haha. Talking to a comedian like he's your therapist.

my prayers are with you friend.

man i hate people who use their childhoofd to come up with all these excuses for behavior or addiction. my childhood was way worse, and it only made me strong and realize i never want to be like my parents. and it didnt make me a drug addict either or drunk. even though my parents were.

@@aoikaze416 "my childhood was way worse"... brother, in what capacity can you measure how bad a stranger's was compared to your own? It's not a competition, but it is a horrible thing that happened to some of us. No reason to dick measure over trauma, that's what losers do.

@@ZohndYT I know and exactly that's my point. I'm pretty sure my childhood was way worse. But I never really bring it up or complain about it. I just use it as fuel to succeed.

@aoikaze416 it's not excuses, it's just different styles of coping. I've never been an addict or violent either, even with my rough childhood, yet I still have my issues just like you do. Get more comfortable with your own emotions and others' won't be so scary to you.

That's interesting because I look back on the few times I opened up about my past trauma, as traumatic events themselves because I felt like I said too much. It's hard to talk.

It's not that bad. You realize quick you are on your own for everything. You don't need others for anything. Learn to love yourself rather than hate the ones who don't love you.

Sounds like you get pegged

Those two have the worst end of the spectrum. Mine stayed but shouldn’t have. I had a strong ass MOM ! She took it for us kids !

What about their sisters who are also going through it in silence. Men aren’t the only ones going through trauma you know?

Support to everyone going through stuff like this, but the intention is that men are not as expressive about these issues which makes it more toxic to oneself​@@adotintheuniverse7174

@@adotintheuniverse7174 Obviously, but men's trauma is largely ignored. Women are well taken care of and given attention by our society.

@@vancitymountaineer7728 who gets labelled “crazy” more? Women do. As soon as she reveals how not put together she is cause of trauma obviously, she is shunned by society and seen as weird and a psycho. Men being crazy has always been normalised.

The silence grows loud over time. Some people can’t take it after awhile. It’s very devastating.

Imagine being ungrateful for the man that brought you to this earth. This guy can sure dish a whole lot, but can’t take it: soft.

Me too. I went through trauma as a kid and then became a police officer in a big city. There was death and suffering everywhere. I'm not sure about Sean's fixation on killing someone. I had to kill someone and it is a terrible thing, but it was kill or be killed. In my mid 40's I became emotional, like I had never been. I find myself talking openly about things from the past. I love my wife, so intently that it is painful, now. I have seen so much death that it permeates my life. I've become an emotional man and I reflect constantly on things I've experienced or done. I am terribly hard on myself, but I have been working on that and getting better. It seems like I used to rarely feel sadness. I went straight through and kept moving forward, but now I feel sadness from the past, present and future. This has been going on for about 4 years but it has slowly gotten a little better. I'm sorry that you are going through this but I'm glad you commented. It's hard for me to understand why I started reflecting so deeply in my 40's. It's been painful but I have grown. Treat yourself with kindness and maybe try to understand yourself. I hope that you can find some growth from this and move forward as a better person with a better life. I work on that everyday. If you have any thoughts for me, please respond. God bless, my friend.

Bullshit lol Sean is not a good person.

"My parents expect me to go to school and work! That's ABUSE" 🙄

Very accurate; Developmental Trauma, A.C.E.'s Trauma, Complex Trauma. He says, "If it weren't for UFC, I'd be in prison." Maybe so. The prisons are filled with those with the same, stored-in-the-body rage (Trauma), without a UFC, and acting out that anger in ways which harm themselves and/or others. Society is filled with so many who aren't even aware of the rage/anger within; as their respective defense systems, like Theo's, is more likely to freeze/fawn, and thus experience the symptoms of Trauma, bearing labels such as Depression and Anxiety. This is almost ubiquitous in America at this point. What we saw was him processing the story from intellectualized, "this happened to me", to emotional and bodily (he cries and looks at that left hand, which is where the anger seeks expression for him)..He then says, "I'm a man now", and is bringing himself back from the wounded child which re-experienced the memory. These early years are so important. I know this as a survivor myself, and your comment is also helpful, so thank you.

@@Mike-es2yg🤣🤣🤣

Let's not diminish other people's trauma of which lives you know nothing just because there are some people who had it more rough than usual.

Trauma is so overused now that you can't really believe every single person. Just because you had a rough day doesn't mean that day was traumatizing @@0205-z9y

You can't compare anyone to Theo. He's one of a kind!

I could probably handle one day or 2 days of trying to protect my mom who id also be worried about. But like everyday…..nah that seems very torturing

When I was very young I heard my parents arguing in their room almost daily (dad was very emotionally abusive) but one time they had a huge argument and then I heard a slap. My father struck her. The door was locked but that didn’t stop me from banging on it like a crazy person trying to break the door. I couldn’t have been older than 8 and still despite knowing my enormous physical disadvantage I had this visceral, almost primal feeling to protect my mom. No child should ever have to fear for their own mother’s well being. I am sorry you had to experience that brother hopefully we can learn from our parent’s mistakes and break that cycle.

@@TheSuperJP3 yeah I can see that being tolerable, but after years of it, you just end up expecting the worst everyday when you wake up and it's hell, but it's definitely an experience you can learn from!

Well you haven’t done anything worth becoming famous over. That’s not Sean’s fault.

such a retarded comment. Anyone in that position would obviously give the other person peace.

beautiful comment, I wholeheartedly agree.

I think honest open conversations, approached honestly and with an active listener like this is the most effective therapy, along with pushing yourself physically to achieve set goals

It's more common then people some far worse than others. But it doesn't matter life shouldn't be this fucking hard for us man it sucks

You do need to be tough and keep it inside. You have to use it to fuel you to become someone inspirational so when you do talk about it one day, it actually means something because you made it

Agreed. I facilitate healing for a living and have learned that immediately offering someone a tissue when they start crying does them a huge disservice..... if they ask for a tissue, sure --- but I believe one of the biggest reasons we don't resolve our traumas is because we don't allow space to fully experience and understand what's even happening inside ourselves.

Amen bro

Not magic at that min , whole thing is him letting brick by brick down . Theo nos it and did a great job . I love strickland Man . I hope that down road he can help other kids

He says it later in the podcast about how you have to laugh and joke about these sort of things because there is no other way to cope with it. Certain things you can talk about and laugh till it finally breaks that dam inside you. Can't fight it either, you spend so much time trying to not be vulnerable and hurt and that you sometimes resent yourself for letting go in that moment. Bad childhoods can really fuck you up.

thought he was an asshole this whole time. my respect for him has grown tenfold. can not say shit to a man that has been through THAT much pain. what else can you say, no one deserves to go through anything like that

@@OGtrushalpatel makes sense why he's so crass and aggressive

It makes alot more sense. Alot of anger usually stems from fear or loss of control and from hearing him talk a bit about what he witnessed and was subjected too from a young age it's opened my eyes more to why he is the way he is.

@brynoliver55 I've had a few issues but I didn't go thru what he went thru

Sean is just this perfect reflection of life. The good, the bad, the ugly. He is shocking and at times repulsive and then you see a flicker of something beautiful that came out of a terrible circumstance - the hurt child inside designed a man that could protect him.
