Cutting Wasn't About Dying with Janet Coburn
from Real Human Moments Project Hosted by TruthBeToldWorld with ILONA POKA
Have you ever been in so much pain that you felt nothing atall? For years, Janet Coburn did. She hid little white scars under a wristband, kept her feelings from the people closest to her, and was sure it could not be her brain because her brain worked great. In this honest conversation with Ilona Poka, Janet talks about the numbness behind self-harm, the shame she carried long after she stopped, and what her family said when she told them she was going to therapy. Then she shares the moment something finally felt different.
