Gabriel Macht Instagram – In honor of World Mental Health Day – I want to take a moment and express my empathy and compassion for so many people having a difficult time when it comes to their Mental Health. It might be a learning disability, a chemical imbalance, depression or anxiety. Whether it be a big or small ‘T’ (trauma), a complex trauma from your upbringing or a moment that has created your present narrative that was once adaptive but now maladaptive, there are many resources out there if you need to talk to someone, to be heard and seen, the sharing goes a long way to healing. For those who feel the need to self medicate as a way to numb the pain, escape, or create the illusion of being present or just the opposite…to hide…it can get terribly dangerous. And when that self medication turns to addiction – everything falls by the way side but one thing. My brother in law, Michael, suffered while growing up. He spent many years abusing drugs, in and out of trouble, and like many others…his life was hanging by a thread. Thanks to an intervention held by my wife @jacindabarrett whom he considers instrumental in saving his life…he sought help. He soldiered through the process of recovery and his commitment paid off. In the 23 years since he became sober – he chose to help others recover. Michael has steered thousands of men and woman reclaim their lives and end their addiction to drugs and alcohol. If you are in Australia and would benefit from Michael’s help – take a look at his new treatment center, SALT at saltrecovery.com.au Truly, this is the place to start your addiction and mental health recovery. If Gold Coast, Australia is too far for you…I’m sure there are resources in your community that can guide you to a healthier journey. If you or someone close to you need help…seek it out…#youcandoit #worldmentalhealthday #saltrecoveryhouse #saltrecovery #Thereislightattheendofthetunnel
