This week we are delighted to kick off a three part series which we've dubbed, Deep Water Exploration. The idea for this series came from an email we received from a listener, saying they wanted to learn more about each of the three of us. We accepted this challenge, and Tim was brave enough to go first! Over the next 3 episodes, we'll each explore the depths of who we are, how we got to be this way, and why we are so committed to mental wellness. All with the same Pieces to Wellness raw vulnerability you've come to know and love!

Tim shares some stories about his childhood memories, who he is, and who he's not. He says that to him there is no greater feeling than knowing who you are, and owning and loving that person. We talk about the trauma from the things that didn't happen, questions left unanswered, and trauma by proxy. Tim shares bravely about the experience that led him to get help with his mental health, and how that was the beginning of his journey to learn as much as possible about mental wellness and to share that knowledge with others. 

There's danger in avoiding tough conversations, in avoiding the pain. Tim recommends we 'shower in the pain' to build our own armor, and ultimately find radical acceptance. If we don't confront the suffering, we are paralyzed, and not able to do any of the work. We can't grow that way, and growth is what it's all about.
