Another excerpt I love from Broken. This is from Chapter 19. I shook and, dropping my head to my hand, I cried. “Well, not when you put it like that,” I said and I cried. I cried for a long while. “How did you find all this out? Did you have a therapist?” William […]

7 Step Path to Recovery
Matthew Perry and 30 years of drugs… As some of you may know, I endured 30 years of trauma that ranged from rape and torture, to animal abuse and pedophilia. I also witnessed an exorbitant number of deaths at an early age. I did all of this without any therapy or medication. Two things my […]

Breaking it Down
Bit by bit, my therapist and I have been pulling apart my personality. Like a ball filled with hundreds of slip knots, gently—and some days not so gently—we tug at the strings and watch the ball fall apart, one knot at a time. The results are always the same. There is a moment of comprehension […]
