Therapy Unveiled: Healing After Quitting Drinking with Justin Boyd Long

Justin Boyd Long is a self-embracing nerd who loves crunching numbers, researching interesting things, and listening to podcasts, in addition to reading loads of books. He got sober at 32 but still felt uncomfortable in his own skin so he started counseling to overcome his past trauma. Justin wrote about his therapy sessions in his book, The Righteous Rage of a Ten-Year-Old-Boy.

Justin is on the podcast today to share his experience with overcoming drinking and using counseling to heal the past.

We talk about:

  • How Justin quit drinking
  • Why getting sober wasn’t enough
  • What therapy was like
  • How EMDR helped Justin process painful memories
  • Building your character support team
  • Advice for people struggling with drinking
