Surviving the Shadows: Why did this happen FOR me? with Chris Carazas

from The Healing Odyssey; Finding your own way forward · host Emma Gardner

Chris's narrative details the harrowing experiences he faced after being diagnosed with autism and enduring emotional abuse in his marriage. After a heart-wrenching loss and hospitalisation, he discovered the healing potential of writing. Encouraged by his sister and a newfound understanding of his experiences, Chris crafted a message of hope and perseverance in his book. Through small, incremental steps, he illustrates that overcoming trauma involves acknowledging the struggle and celebrating the small moments of progress. His journey from despair to empowerment serves as a beacon for others navigating similar challenges.Check out Chris's Book 'Now that I'm Still Here' on his website: https://chriscarazas.com/Connect with Chris here: https://ccarazas.substack.com/Continue Your JourneyThank you so much for listening to The Healing Odyssey.If this episode has helped you, please consider sharing it with someone who might need to hear it today.Join Dopamine Without DangerA calm, private community for recovery, ADHD, burnout and emotional wellbeing.First month just £3 with code ONEMONTH3https://dopamine-without-danger.mn.co/landing/Read AA Is Not the Only WayReal stories of recovery, ADHD, trauma and finding your own way forward.https://emmagardner.ukSupport the PodcastIf you'd like to help keep these conversations free:https://buymeacoffee.com/emmagardnerwritesBe a GuestTherapist, coach, researcher, author or someone with lived experience?I'd love to hear from [email protected] next time... be gentle with yourself, stay curious, and keep finding your own way forward
