Description

Our struggles with intimacy often root back to the childhood boundaries set—or not set—by our parents.

Today's a conversation is a deep dive into the complex world of emotional inheritance with Paul Gilmartin, renowned stand-up comedian and host of The Mental Illness Happy Hour.

In this raw & revealing, Paul recounts his fight with addiction & depression - the hard choices about medication and survival, and his courageous decision to cut ties with toxic family relationships for his mental well-being. He sheds light on the power of human connections in replacing addictive behaviors and provides invaluable advice on navigating the murky waters of relationships post-recovery.
