In this episode of Brokenish, we sit down with a clinician who was helping people recover from addiction… while quietly struggling with his own.

This is the reality most people never see.

We talk about:

  • What it actually feels like to be a “wounded healer”
  • The pressure of helping others while falling apart internally
  • Why some therapists shouldn’t be practicing
  • The truth about masking, people-pleasing, and childhood trauma
  • Addiction as a way to disappear
  • And what it really takes to come back and reappear

One of the most powerful moments in this episode:

“I used heroin because it worked the fastest… I just wanted to disappear.”

If you’ve ever struggled, felt like you had to hide who you are, or wondered if the people helping you actually understand… this conversation will hit.

Recovery isn’t about perfection. It’s about honesty.

If you or someone you love is struggling with mental health or addiction, you’re not alone.
