Danny is the kind of son any parent would be proud of! The rejection and disappointment from his father breaks my heart for him. I hope he knows it’s his dad’s loss, truly. He’s an amazing person x
Danny - you can’t make people show up the way they should. You are right to not to pursue it with your Dad. Nurture those relationships that are invested. You are a class act. Huge hugs xxx
On a simply professional note, Danny is quite possibly the most underrated vocalist/musician that we’ve had in the UK for quite some time. It’s great to see people finding him through his recent tv appearances. McFly deserve all the love they can get, 4 genuinely good guys making real music and putting smiles on faces every show!
I didn’t want Danny to go! I want a part 2 🥹 what a beautiful human. I’m so glad he added that part about visualization. I feel like high performance happens in our heads before it unfolds in our lives 💖
@ you mean pictures don’t come to mind? You can always write in journal form. Read it often, plan and plot, script your future as if you were the writer, director and editor of your own life (because you are)
@@FefiPG Nothing comes to mind all I see is black when I close my eyes I don’t dream either, only found out it was a thing a couple of years ago and I am 59 now! I have spent the last 12 years stuck in an upstairs bedroom so I don’t think even a bestselling move will help me now lol 😝
What an incredible human! I’ve been a fan of McFly since day one and I’m so proud of Danny for everything he’s achieved and how he’s helping so many people now. I’m so happy that the rest of the world can see what a truly genuine and kind man he is.
Jake, you are absolutely right about it being a strength that Danny has when recognising he does not NEED his Dad in his life if it just brings negativity and he makes him feel badly. I admire him for learning this early enough. He can recognise that his Dad may have made decisions for certain reasons and accept that he may have felt a certain way but, using Danny’s own words, he doesn’t have to accept how he “responded or reacted to” those feelings if it left others hurt. Loved this episode.
You have brought JOY to the world !!! 🌎 that is an extraordinary achievement 👏 Anyone who disrespects you deserves NONE of your time. Your dad doesn't want to acknowledge that you as a young boy supported the family after he bailed out. So he turns the narrative to him as a victim. Look forward with pride to the rest of your life with your close family and friends as it's all that matters.
Sat with my husband and listened to this, he agreed with the fact that men don't discuss their feelings, they just don't, and because they don't it is really difficult to understand them. Thank you Danny for speaking out, love you!!
Takes a good loyal woman for most men because they have experienced showing weakness in the past and it didn’t end well when she got her coat five mins later, So they think I ain’t doing that again 😂
Danny is a beautiful soul just being him. He is a top bloke❤ you are enough young man, and it's your dad's loss, not yours 💙 p.s. Your son is adorable he will heal all of you 🥰😘
Always been a huge fan of McFly and Danny Jones is my personal favourite member. It was great to watch him on this throughout with his inspiring words, as with seeing winning three shows last year which gives me something to smile about after going through anxiety which lead me to my lowest point (though him being on I'm a Celebrity at that time has helped me to keep me occupied and him again winning is the added bonus). It must have been hard for him to go through all of this during the early days of his stardom but I know that he'll get there with his healing journey as with mine. I hope he'll continue to grow with him getting more recognition after coming from a long way. 😀👍❤⭐
I was abused by my Dad and it wasn't until I became alot older that I realised it was abuse and it's now been over 7yrs since I last ever spoke to him and I don't miss him in my life he offers nothing to not just me but my mum and my siblings! In fact my younger brother joined the police in the hope it would bring him and our dad closer together as my dad was once in the police force but it didn't and my younger brother is actually now in therapy from his trauma through the lack of us having a father who gave a shit! I strive every day now to be a good dad for my own children and it's not easy especially as my son is Autistic and Dyslexic but if anything it's made me love him even more. And I can relate to what Danny said about his dad as I wasn't very good at school as in learning I struggled with that but I was talented in sports but again my Dad couldn't care less, he never came to any of my football matches while at school and when I then played outside of school, I made the rugby team in high school and again he took no interest, I got into golf and when it came round to wanting to join a club he wouldn't pay the fee for my membership as I wasn't old enough to have a job then and I know I shouldn't of but in the end I just gave each one of those things I loved up and I regret that massively, however I am now back coaching kids football with the team my son plays for 🩵 and I love it again and I get to share that with my son now. And has his grandad ever came to see him play.... no which tells me even more now I made the right decision in cutting him out of my life. Really enjoyed this episode gents and I wish Danny all the best as I also do love his and mcflys music and one of my favourite songs is THATS THE TRUTH 👏🏻👌🏻 kind regards Gary ( the name on here TH-cam is mine and my sons as we also collect sports cards as a hobby of ours 😊🩵) all the best lads 🤝🏻 oh and it's also nice to share the same surname as Danny 😊🩵
I had alot of the same problems as achild with family as he did and to hear how it still affects someone else the same way it still affects me is more than helpful its made me realise that im not alone and not strange for letting it still affect me. Thankyou to you all.
I have a lot of respect and admiration for you, Danny. You are such a genuine and kind human. I’ve been in therapy for a number of years and it’s not easy at all. Healing is so hard, but it must be even more difficult when you are in the public eye. I hope 2025 is gentle with you. ❤
I cried so much watching this, especially because I identify so much with most of it. My father did the same and since then I have also struggled with anxiety. And the fact that Danny is my absolute idol makes me think he's even more relatable. This is a great man, all my love to Danny ♥
Great episode! Growing up Danny and Mcfly and the community of fans we had were my escape from anxiety. I didn’t understand it either back then, but it’s kind of healing my teenage self to hear him open up about all of that, and to see that he has all this emotional intelligence. So much love for this man.
Impossible to not like Danny Jones , Always comes across as a positive Glass half full kinda guy. This interview has definitely made us all realise his vulnerability but really enjoyed it immensely
I’m a septuagenarian Granma and this is the best High Performance I’ve seen. It taught me so much and also educated so much about how my adult children have suffered trauma. Thank you wonderful lad💕
danny and mcfly was my introduction to music at the age of 3, and therefore, i credit them for being the reason i do what i love today, so thank you danny
Some people might disagree with me but listen to Danny on this I feel like I relate to him more and more every day and listening to his stories it makes me think about my own thoughts and feelings and my life struggles with anxiety and depression and I struggle with it still till this day. Thank you Danny jones for opening up and sharing your story. I look up to you and appreciate you
I totally agree with you. I do not know if there would be anyone who would disagree with you. I think people find it hard to open up about their own feeling's. But I think it could be because people feel like they will not be heard if they did open up.
@ yeah , personally with my mental health it’s hard to get out there what I’m feeling and a lot of what Danny was saying is the same as what I feel and have to deal with every day and I love my family and I do talk to them about some of the issues but like Danny said they don’t have any idea how to handle it because they’ve never had anxiety or panic attacks but I’ve never really been able to go to therapy as I have not had a good experience with them in the past but listening to Danny talk about it it’s made me really think about whether I should consider going to look into therapy.
@LindsayLancaster-i7e I never went to therapy but I did hear alot of good things about it. I only went to counselling and it helped me. But I do not think it is for everyone. There are some people who find it hard to open up. Because it can bring back all the trauma.
Amazing interview, how he talks about his Dad and family/friends - talking about anxiety - knowing how that feels, just brilliant interview, well done all for highlighting issues we all can face....
When you have a traumatic experience in your life when a mum or dad are the reason, you crave in your adulthood for the parent you never had as a child, it's the hardest thing to try and let go of
It is so important to just talk. Danny talking about your issues and feelings and struggles helps because immediately you don't feel alone, and for someone else who may be struggling and watching this may feel so alone and that noone will understand. Yet here you are, bearing your soul and look how many people can relate then immediately think "oh thank God I'm not the only one, I'm not alone!". I've seen you react to the little guy called Thomas on the voice when he sang Piece by Piece, and he said he could relate to those lyrics because his Dad left them too. I've seen you react to winning and being crowned King of the Jungle. I've seen you react with your boy when you were the winner of the Masked Singer. All these moments I've seen you want to feel that you were validated and wanted and loved, and you are. You can't carry the guilt for someone else's decision. And why should you feel like you're not enough? My Mum left when I was 10 months old. For long enough I carried that rejection, wondering who I was, where I was from, what went wrong etc. Then I realised it was consuming me and then I knew I had to do something about it. Therapy helped massively because like you said, hearing it from a professional is more validating. When you talked about feeling guilty because you had good things in your life and your Mum didn't, that's just love. The love and empathy you have for her is clearly huge, and you were so brave to protect and care for her when she needed you. And so many other times in your life, whether it's friends or loved ones, you've been there for them and you should be proud of the man you've become. You're awesome! ❤
I think Danny is a wonderful young man. I don’t think parents realise the devastation a divorce can have on their children. That said parents shouldn’t stay in a broken marriage either. Going from therapist to therapist isn’t always the answer but I hope Danny finds peace within himself
My God, !! no wonder you are anxious, etc. All you've been through is such a weight for a young man to carry. I expect your "father" has shame and guilt that may be hard for him to face. Some people don't have the capacity to look after their own children because they don't know how to get through life themselves. Some people find out that they just aren't strong enough to look after their own children. Despite all this trauma, look at you Danny. The world knows and loves you. It's not up to you to rescue your dad. There's plenty of help and counselling out there for people like him. It was and is hard for you because he left but you came out shining despite all of it. Your mum will be happy as long as you are ❤ believe me, that's all a great parent wants. Your "Dad" sounds like he's jealous because you are more of a man than he can ever be. He needs to work on himself, or not, but you will still be epic and extraordinary 😎
I think it’s really interesting to ask questions about Danny’s relationship with his Dad but I genuinely felt very uncomfortable and frustrated when you were asking him ‘why haven’t you done…..?’ He is the child and his ‘Dad’ is the parent - he’s clearly made zero effort and it should not fall down onto Danny’s shoulders after his ‘Dad’ was the one who abandoned him. Totally understand approaching it from a different angle but I think the persistent questioning and the wording of it could’ve been a touch more gentle of an approach for something that clearly cuts quite deeply for him. For example instead of asking ‘why have you not done….?’ Instead asking ‘how would you feel about approaching him? Could that be something you’d be open in doing?’ Less judgment behind the words x
This conversation was not long enough... interesting guy , I like him, great song writer, singer and performer, didn't know he wrote and produced stuff for 1D
I'm 7mins in and i can 100% relate. It's heartbreaking. The parents should be taking on the emotional responsibility not putting it on their sons/daugthers. It's so emotionally damaging and very hard to get over. I hope/believe Danny will find the right therapist, he's too much of a good guy to not have received the love he deserves from the people he needed it most. They must have been very damaged themselves to have not been able to give it. It's inspirational Danny's had similar struggles it seems but is able to use his talents and be awesome at it! He comes across as just a genuinely really good bloke, and i wish him peace and enjoyment in all he does :)
I went through a trauma and the night terrors made me not want to sleep. I had the get therapy and I went to the doctor that prescribed sertraline. The sertraline stopped the night terrors and made sleeping peaceful again.
Cool guy, very articulate and balanced. Good fun in the jungle and showed his true character. Not a fan of the band but at least it’s a band and has a massive and loyal fanbase. Good on you Danny:
We hold our parents in a place that's different than other people see them. We have to realize that who we think they are might not be who they really are. His dad took digs at him instead of wishing him well with all his successes, he should be proud and happy that his son is successful and not struggling. We never want our kids to struggle, at least most of us don't. His dad sounds almost jealous.
Dear Sir Danny Jones, God bless you , you've amazing strength and determination and faith to achieve where you are at this moment right now. Keep going your amazing and achieved an amazing journey through life . God bless you and keep faith Sir you'll accomplish anything and overcome anything Sonia Jamieson Mayfield House Aultmore Scotland
I think the reason we seek out therapy instead of talking to people we know, like husbands or wives is, therapy is a safe space, where you can tell them everything and since they aren't personally invested, they don't judge or treat you with kid gloves. like if you have a friend who goes through a loss of, lets say, a child, its hard as a friend to share with them, happy things in your life with your kids to them without feeling like maybe you shouldn't mention your kids to them. if that makes sense. you can get all the things out that you need to, then go back to your life with family and friends and they don't treat you differently
Comfort of a better hopeful we will a be happy now kindness 😊😊😊 best wishes for Love you Danny Jones ❤❤❤ McFly Band 🤘🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🩵🫶🏻 grateful for a God like a king of Jungle
Observations being a child of divorce, accepting it's not about us it's about it not working between the adults and it not being healthy to stay together for the kids in that environment to avoid societal 'broken home' label, those who take that view suffer less. Those that view divorce as abandonment even if both parents are fully in their lives afterwards and co parent in a healthy way suffer in this way.
Yes he is a good human being well we always think fame and fortune they don't have emotions anxiety they do cannot wait. for loose men Pete wicks has suffered like this it will be amazing show I've always liked Danny and he hides his anxiety
Nobody should be forced to let a toxic parent or any family member back into your life. Sounds like Danny's 'dad' doesn't deserve that privilege! Danny sounds like a good son, who made all the effort during the years and getting nothing in return. His dad only let's him down.
Mum ; " pressure makes diamonds" Dad , " Cant afford a train tkt to meet you " Let it go Danny; He;s just another flawed human that doesn't deserve your love x
Danny you did choose to be born and you choose your parents you just don’t remember… so I am learning…. Crazy I know. Love you and your band you brought my family so so much lots of love :) x Debra :) x
When you realise you have a Heavenly Father that loves you so much so that he sent his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall be saved ( John 3:16) we learn and heal from all past traumas and he shows us all the past traumas our parents have been through xxx ❤ god bless you Danny and your lovely family xx it’s heart breaking when you start to see what’s in others hearts it can be money, idols false gods whatever it may be people will let you down but God never lets us down he doesn’t loved us 🥰 xxx he will never let us down In Jesus Mighty Name 🥰 xxx Amen 🙏🏻
I don't know this person and I don't mean to be offensive to him but as an older person I am very shocked at the young mans lack of resilience and emotional stability. As the presenter stated 42% of marriages end up in divorce, and I'm sure many others still stay together despite being dysfunctional, abusive, or continually arguing with each other. Not all problem marriages end up in divorce. Somethings not working when you have needed therapy since the age of 18 and up to 38 in order to deal with issues that are not that uncommon in life. I can understand him being nervous being on TV, but then who doesn't? Or who wouldn't be? Danny appears emotionally venerable and still has a lot of unresolved issues. His presentation and body action would be concerning for me, as is anybody who plasters their skin with tattoos like that. I see a lot of attention seeking behaviour in Danny and he seems the most stimulated or excited when he's talking about his own troubles which I feel only facilitates his anxiety. I rebel against this new woke philosophy that its good to talk publicly about your problems for your own mental health, I think the opposite is true. There is a famous saying - don't burden your problems on to other people, don't talk about your problems, take responsibility and resolve them. That's how we learn about ourselves and learn to develop our own life skills making us more independent and resilient. If someone is still talking about the same problems 20 years later then there is a lack of responsibility.. And their problems may become their identity which gives meaning and attention to their life. Depending on an authority to fix our problems is an escape and encourages a continual dependence in life for someone else to solve their problems. I had an emotional problem at 19 that I was clear then that I didn't want to be still dealing with it when I reach 70. So my main focus was to immediately manage and resolve that emotional difficulty which I did very quickly with hat logic. We are encouraged to seek therapy or for someone else to show us the way at the first sign of experiencing trauma, rather than understanding the problem ourselves and managing the situation and dealing with it. For me, seeking therapy only denies ones own intelligence and coping mechanisms.

On a simply professional note, Danny is quite possibly the most underrated vocalist/musician that we’ve had in the UK for quite some time. It’s great to see people finding him through his recent tv appearances.

I was abused by my Dad and it wasn't until I became alot older that I realised it was abuse and it's now been over 7yrs since I last ever spoke to him and I don't miss him in my life he offers nothing to not just me but my mum and my siblings! In fact my younger brother joined the police in the hope it would bring him and our dad closer together as my dad was once in the police force but it didn't and my younger brother is actually now in therapy from his trauma through the lack of us having a father who gave a shit!

You can tell this guy feels his emotions very strongly and I think it’s gift he can channel those emotions into music. Great guy
I had alot of the same problems as achild with family as he did and to hear how it still affects someone else the same way it still affects me is more than helpful its made me realise that im not alone and not strange for letting it still affect me. Thankyou to you all.
Ugh his dad was just not present. . I’m so thankful he’s talkkng about his ….
Amazing human ❤. That episode was really powerful xx
I have a lot of respect and admiration for you, Danny. You are such a genuine and kind human. I’ve been in therapy for a number of years and it’s not easy at all. Healing is so hard, but it must be even more difficult when you are in the public eye. I hope 2025 is gentle with you. ❤
You feel that ANYONE could talk to Danny & he’d listen… plus being totally genuine & funny AF!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 my mind is clear now after this 😀👍
Danny is a beautiful human being that is showing his vulnerabilities as all of us have . I admire him a lot . ❤
Danny is an amazing man ❤❤❤❤❤

What a brilliant interview that all men should watch particularly young men. It will help so many people. Brilliant Danny Jones. What a lovely guy.

It's not up to you to rescue your dad. There's plenty of help and counselling out there for people like him. It was and is hard for you because he left but you came out shining despite all of it. Your mum will be happy as long as you are ❤ believe me, that's all a great parent wants. Your "Dad" sounds like he's jealous because you are more of a man than he can ever be. He needs to work on himself, or not, but you will still be epic and extraordinary 😎
When parents split and the one that leaves is still alive....you grieve like a death, but you can never put it to rest and accept..
Love Danny! Been a mcfly fan since day 1 and he is a credit to everyone ❤
Anyone can be a father but not everyone can be a daddy !
Not really a fan of McFly but their songs were always great. Always found them all lovely genuine guys.
What a beautiful young man.I didn’t want the interview to end xx
A beautiful soul inside and out. You speak sence and from the heart. Thank you.
On no way 58 .55 you looked at your watch 😳this was brilliant, I want part 2 now 🥰
Amazing episode, very emotional, open and honest! ❤👌🏻💯
pressed like before even starting to listen haha x
I think it’s really interesting to ask questions about Danny’s relationship with his Dad but I genuinely felt very uncomfortable and frustrated when you were asking him ‘why haven’t you done…..?’ He is the child and his ‘Dad’ is the parent - he’s clearly made zero effort and it should not fall down onto Danny’s shoulders after his ‘Dad’ was the one who abandoned him. Totally understand approaching it from a different angle but I think the persistent questioning and the wording of it could’ve been a touch more gentle of an approach for something that clearly cuts quite deeply for him.
For example instead of asking ‘why have you not done….?’ Instead asking ‘how would you feel about approaching him? Could that be something you’d be open in doing?’ Less judgment behind the words x
Such a great, honest and likable young man.
Aww, the voice note from Barry M was beautiful. ❤x
This conversation was not long enough... interesting guy , I like him, great song writer, singer and performer, didn't know he wrote and produced stuff for 1D
Love you danny
Such a beautiful soul x
He also won Pop star to opera singer, and he is amazing and has such a class relationship with his fellow band mates
No, unfortunately he was voted off in week 4
@@Debbie76 Yes you are right but I knew he had been on it.
Thank you Danny.
So interesting - such an inspiring young man 👏
I'm 7mins in and i can 100% relate. It's heartbreaking. The parents should be taking on the emotional responsibility not putting it on their sons/daugthers. It's so emotionally damaging and very hard to get over. I hope/believe Danny will find the right therapist, he's too much of a good guy to not have received the love he deserves from the people he needed it most. They must have been very damaged themselves to have not been able to give it. It's inspirational Danny's had similar struggles it seems but is able to use his talents and be awesome at it! He comes across as just a genuinely really good bloke, and i wish him peace and enjoyment in all he does :)
Brilliant podcast. Sometimes you have to care for yourself
Your feelings are your feelings and only yours , no one should try and suggest what you should and shouldn’t do .
I went through a trauma and the night terrors made me not want to sleep. I had the get therapy and I went to the doctor that prescribed sertraline. The sertraline stopped the night terrors and made sleeping peaceful again.
What a guy! Amazing interview ❤
Cool guy, very articulate and balanced. Good fun in the jungle and showed his true character. Not a fan of the band but at least it’s a band and has a massive and loyal fanbase. Good on you Danny:
Jake and Damian, you both look fabulous in navy blue btw...!!! 😊
The Hardest thing to give Someone is Time
You are an Amazing person I'm proud of you
We hold our parents in a place that's different than other people see them. We have to realize that who we think they are might not be who they really are. His dad took digs at him instead of wishing him well with all his successes, he should be proud and happy that his son is successful and not struggling. We never want our kids to struggle, at least most of us don't. His dad sounds almost jealous.
Amazing Danny , I could listen to you all day , be it singing or speaking . A truly wonderful person you are , didn't want this podcast to end. 🩵
Loved this podcast can relate to a lot of it
Danny you are a great guy be proud of yourself
Ah poor lad. The rejection is mental .. the shock of it must be hellish for him. What a good person though he is a lovely lad.

I think the reason we seek out therapy instead of talking to people we know, like husbands or wives is, therapy is a safe space, where you can tell them everything and since they aren't personally invested, they don't judge or treat you with kid gloves. like if you have a friend who goes through a loss of, lets say, a child, its hard as a friend to share with them, happy things in your life with your kids to them without feeling like maybe you shouldn't mention your kids to them. if that makes sense.
you can get all the things out that you need to, then go back to your life with family and friends and they don't treat you differently
Comfort of a better hopeful we will a be happy now kindness 😊😊😊 best wishes for Love you Danny Jones ❤❤❤ McFly Band 🤘🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🩵🫶🏻 grateful for a God like a king of Jungle
Observations being a child of divorce, accepting it's not about us it's about it not working between the adults and it not being healthy to stay together for the kids in that environment to avoid societal 'broken home' label, those who take that view suffer less. Those that view divorce as abandonment even if both parents are fully in their lives afterwards and co parent in a healthy way suffer in this way.
Yes he is a good human being well we always think fame and fortune they don't have emotions anxiety they do cannot wait. for loose men Pete wicks has suffered like this it will be amazing show
I've always liked Danny and he hides his anxiety
Nobody should be forced to let a toxic parent or any family member back into your life.
Sounds like Danny's 'dad' doesn't deserve that privilege!
Danny sounds like a good son, who made all the effort during the years and getting nothing in return. His dad only let's him down.
Mum ; " pressure makes diamonds" Dad , " Cant afford a train tkt to meet you " Let it go Danny; He;s just another flawed human that doesn't deserve your love x
I read the thumbnail and thought it was an interview with Biff Tannen
Ask Jesus Christ into your heart Danny 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I pay for TH-cam premium, why should I have to listen to your adverts during a podcast. Completely ruins the experience
You are the Same star sign as me I'm an older Irish Woman and I am a People Person
Danny you are right to distance your self from your dad you are better than him❤
Danny you did choose to be born and you choose your parents you just don’t remember… so I am learning…. Crazy I know. Love you and your band you brought my family so so much lots of love :) x Debra :) x
When you realise you have a Heavenly Father that loves you so much so that he sent his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall be saved ( John 3:16) we learn and heal from all past traumas and he shows us all the past traumas our parents have been through xxx ❤ god bless you Danny and your lovely family xx it’s heart breaking when you start to see what’s in others hearts it can be money, idols false gods whatever it may be people will let you down but God never lets us down he doesn’t loved us 🥰 xxx he will never let us down In Jesus Mighty Name 🥰 xxx Amen 🙏🏻
I don't know this person and I don't mean to be offensive to him but as an older person I am very shocked at the young mans lack of resilience and emotional stability. As the presenter stated 42% of marriages end up in divorce, and I'm sure many others still stay together despite being dysfunctional, abusive, or continually arguing with each other. Not all problem marriages end up in divorce.
Somethings not working when you have needed therapy since the age of 18 and up to 38 in order to deal with issues that are not that uncommon in life. I can understand him being nervous being on TV, but then who doesn't? Or who wouldn't be? Danny appears emotionally venerable and still has a lot of unresolved issues. His presentation and body action would be concerning for me, as is anybody who plasters their skin with tattoos like that. I see a lot of attention seeking behaviour in Danny and he seems the most stimulated or excited when he's talking about his own troubles which I feel only facilitates his anxiety.
I rebel against this new woke philosophy that its good to talk publicly about your problems for your own mental health, I think the opposite is true. There is a famous saying - don't burden your problems on to other people, don't talk about your problems, take responsibility and resolve them. That's how we learn about ourselves and learn to develop our own life skills making us more independent and resilient. If someone is still talking about the same problems 20 years later then there is a lack of responsibility.. And their problems may become their identity which gives meaning and attention to their life. Depending on an authority to fix our problems is an escape and encourages a continual dependence in life for someone else to solve their problems. I had an emotional problem at 19 that I was clear then that I didn't want to be still dealing with it when I reach 70. So my main focus was to immediately manage and resolve that emotional difficulty which I did very quickly with hat logic.
We are encouraged to seek therapy or for someone else to show us the way at the first sign of experiencing trauma, rather than understanding the problem ourselves and managing the situation and dealing with it. For me, seeking therapy only denies ones own intelligence and coping mechanisms.
He’s full of it. Looking for sympathy.
