What have you struggled the most with in your life?

Depression, mental illness and emotional childhood trauma. As a child Adrian had been through a lot. His mother was heavily addicted to prescription drugs and his father a Vietnam vet was not present. All of this coupled with his sensitivity meant that he was not validated by his family and learnt that he needed to find this elsewhere. Being sensitive resulted in him believing that when something bad happened or his mother was sick Adrian blamed himself. He wanted to help but couldn’t. This led to internalising all the criticism in his life. As a teenager Adrian found a group of kids who liked for him who he was but he became addicted to drugs and alcohol because they provided the freedom he couldn’t find elsewhere.

Despite these challenges Adrian followed the path that society has constructed, doing well at school, going to Uni, getting a job, making money and living the life but it didn’t make him happy. All those suppressed emotions, trauma as a child and a very unhealthy belief system resulted in panic attacks in his early 20’s which dramatically affected his mental health. Having seen therapists and tried many anti-depressants nothing worked which let to rehab. This was the end of the line! It was all too much and there was a lot of turmoil. Adrian then met someone that would change everything. A woman suggested Qigong meditation and what happened next was a spiritual awakening that shifted so much darkness leading to a huge transition. I truly hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
