    When one could talk about his childhood trauma in comedic way, that means he has been healed.Thanks for sharing.❤

    • @JaneThatcher89
      @JaneThatcher89 28 дней назад +2

      I use comedy all the time and it doesn’t indicate healing at all.
      The humor is and always has been a coping mechanism. People get offended that I think r.@pe jokes and cult jokes are funny. Oh well.

      @@JaneThatcher89 It is said that people need a lifetime to heal their childhood trauma, I doubt it. In front of the trauma,Many choose to face and solve it with brave ways rather than forget it, which is the process to heal, when people could embrace the new life, I suppose people are healed. Anyway, different people think differently and I respect yours.

      @@YokeeYang I agree with Jane in the sense that humour is often used as a coping mechanism so I don't believe it to be indicative of healing. Lots of people use self-deprecating humour to cope. I agree with you in the sense that I don't think people necessarily need a lifetime to heal but it can take that long. For some, it never happens.
      I wonder what you consider facing and solving trauma to mean. Some don't forget it per se, but rather compartmentalise it or use other coping mechanisms because it would be too painful to deal with it and they need to be able to function enough to survive. On the outside it can seem like they've moved on but there isn't a way to tell for sure beyond the person telling you themselves.
      I'd say it's rare that things turn out as well as it has for Juston but I'm glad he seems happy and broke the cycle with his kids.

    wow thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I just saw you for the first time last week in Newport. You were great! My family life is thickly coated in alcoholism, and I lost my 30 year old son this year to it. I need comedy, so thank you again.

Maybe I can relate thank you for sharing with the world what many of us in this generation lived through that had a huge hand in making us who we are and who we're not. God bless u and good job to ur dad.

    1. When life gets tough, staying strong and keeping going helps.
    2. Being aware of our thoughts and actions helps us break bad habits and turn weaknesses into strengths.
    3. Having hope, forgiving ourselves and others, and getting second chances makes us stronger.
    4. Support from family and friends helps us grow and stay strong.
    5. Improving ourselves and celebrating our successes makes us more confident and resilient.
    6. Overcoming addiction takes courage and help, but leads to better health and happiness.
    7. Being kind and understanding turns problems into opportunities.
    8. By taking control of our lives and staying positive, we can overcome challenges and become stronger, wiser, and happier.
