The Bear I Buried Came Back...Then It Broke Me

from Back & Forth: A Men's Mental Health Podcast

Welcome to Back and Forth!In this raw and honest episode, the guys open up about what happens when you spend years trying to bury trauma instead of facing it. For 25 years, it felt easier to lock it away, crack on, and pretend everything was fine, until life had other plans.This episode is all about the “bears” we carry… the emotional weight, unresolved pain, old stories, and hidden wounds that quietly shape how we think, feel, and cope. Because the truth is, what we avoid doesn’t disappear, it waits.They get real about the impact of suppressed trauma, the warning signs we often ignore, and why having open conversations about mental health before things hit breaking point is so important.If you’ve ever felt like something from your past still has a grip on you, this episode is your reminder: you don’t have to carry it alone.If you'd like to get involved with the podcast or want to share what's annoyed you this week, you can email [email protected] to get involved!
