In this raw and unfiltered episode, I share the truth I’ve never fully told until now — the story of how I was blackmailed and psychologically abused by my therapist of five years, and what it took to survive it without relapsing, losing my job, or giving up on myself.

This isn’t a sob story. It’s a war story.It’s about what happens when the person you trust most becomes the one who destroys you.

I talk about:

* Getting sober after years of alcoholism and trauma

* Why I created the Kill The Silence digital library

* How my therapist manipulated, isolated, and extorted me

* The emotional cost of being silenced, and how I broke free

* The tools that actually helped me stay grounded through it all

* How shame almost killed me — and how I took my power back

Topics Covered

* ADHD, CPTSD, and the shame of "not being healed"

* Getting sober without AA, church, or traditional therapy

* Why I’ll never charge for recovery tools — and what’s in the Digital Library

* The truth about therapist abuse, coercive contracts, and trauma gaslighting

* How I kept my job and didn’t relapse under extreme psychological pressure

* Why I’m turning this story into stand-up comedy (and survival power)
