Summary

Trigger warning: this episode contains mentions of suicide, cancer, and death. What if the very thing you're using to cope with trauma is actually preventing you from healing? In this emotional episode, Julie opens up about her decades-long struggle with binge drinking, using alcohol to numb the pain of her son's suicide, her husband's cancer diagnosis and death, and the challenges of the pandemic. With the help of This Naked Mind, Julie learned how to face her grief and emotions without relying on alcohol, ultimately finding strength in vulnerability.

1:18.8	that's what cool people did and that's sort of thing but I didn't really think about what I was going to drink or not going to drink. It just was not really an issue other than me kind of thinking that about it. But then I guess I was in junior high
