In this episode I speak with author and CFO Justin B Long about his book, "The Righteous Rage of a 10-Year-Old Boy: A Journey of Self-Discovery." This is a beautiful book about a man who has overcome a traumatic childhood, with inner resilence, a lot of intention, and the help of his therapist (trained in EMDR). He recounts in detail his experience with EMDR, and how it helped transform his perception of himself and the world. Through a lot of courage and inner stamina Justin is able to reflect on the magic of EMDR with a very personal and open account of his experience.
In his book 'The Righteous Rage of a ten-year-old boy' Justin explores his traumatic childhood and adult addiction. Justin grew up with a step-father who constantly criticised and punished him and a mother who escaped into religion. He never felt good enough and spent a lot of his life trying to fix that with his behaviour and alcohol. Now committed to self-awareness, he is 14 years sober and sharing his story to help others. Justin B. Long is an author, business owner, and the host of the podcast, Straight from the Horse Doctor's Mouth which he produces with his wife, Dr. Erica Lacher. His bestselling book series, The Adventures of the Horse Doctor's Husband, has been enjoyed by readers all over the world. While his wife's mission is to make the world a better place for horses, Justin's mission is to make the world a better place for people by combatting toxically masculine ideas surrounding men and their emotions. His current book, The Righteous Rage of a Ten-Year-Old Boy, is a raw, intense examination of his childhood, the traumatic events bottle, I can promise you that formed his negative self-image, and his journey through therapy to overcome it all.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Justin B. Long. We discussed many things but one of the main topics was his story and how his journey to self-discovery and self-awareness, helped him break down the barriers of what it means to be a man.

Justin shares his story and parts of his book, "The Righteous Rage of a Ten-Year-Old Boy," to show the journey he went through to break through the programming and how to unleash more of who he truly is. Tune in for more! Who is Justin B. Long? Justin B.

For many men, it is important to feel powerful. It is often this feeling of power, or a desire for the feeling of power, that drives actions and decisions. But power can be confusing too. Power over others is different from power with others. A sense of internal power is different from external (or situational) power.

On today's episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, Duane talks with Justin B. Long about his journey through childhood trauma and how he tried to escape it through alcoholism. We discuss the traps of toxic masculinity, the idea that, as men, we can't share our feelings. We can't be vulnerable. We should be stoic at all times. In the episode, you'll learn how that idea prevents us from being able to heal from our past wounds. Justin shares his story of hope and healing for everyone else out there who's struggling with the same issues. Justin is the author of The Righteous Rage of a Ten-Year-Old Boy: A Journey of Self-Discovery. In his book, he talks about uncovering our deeper feelings by addressing childhood events and traumas and changing how our emotions are tied to those memories. Justin has poured his deepest, darkest secrets into the book. As he pointed out, the more sunshine gets on those secrets, the less power they have over him. As he was trying to recover from alcoholism in his mid-30's, Justin had to go back to the beginning of time to understand what drove him to alcoholism. Justin grew up with two very emotionally dysfunctional parents: his dad was a workaholic and a rageaholic and his mom was deep into extreme religiosity and hoped that God would solve her emotional challenges. He found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. His parents didn't have any emotional tools to support him or help him. Therefore, he grew up in an unhealthy environment. The way his dad treated him taught him that he was a failure no matter what he did. Feeling unworthy, uncomfortable, and untrusting, Justin turned to books as a way to escape reality. Then, as he got older, he discovered alcohol. It made him feel good about himself and he felt accepted for the first time in his life. So, alcohol became his tool to feel good about himself. Justin didn't realize that it wasn't a solution or that it was just a band-aid. However, like all external things, it had diminishing returns over time. It worked less and less until it stopped working altogether.In this episode, you will hear:Justin's childhood traumaWhat it was like to not know how to handle his feelings How covering up feelings of shame and guilt through drinking became a cycleHow he changed his perspective from being a failure to being okayHow a recovery meeting became the first pinprick that showed him realityWhat his righteous rage looked like and how letting it go allowed him to achieve true freedomWhat happens when your pain is greater than your fearWhy it's okay to feel your feelingsJustin's motivation to put his book out thereKey Quotes:[09:21] - "My biggest problem that made me decide I had to quit drinking was that the more I got drunk around other people, the more I misbehaved and just couldn't seem to control myself."[13:15] - “Everything that I thought I knew about myself to be true was not true. And I get to rewrite that story."[16:12] - "In your formative years, you take everything from around you, and you believe that to be true."[18:33] - “True freedom comes in moving past that and letting go of that rage, even if it's justified.”[21:02] - “The pain has to get greater than the fear. And that's how it was for me. It hurt bad enough that I was willing to step into the fear."[22:14] - “I'm trying to learn how to feel the feelings and be okay with them. And sometimes it hurts, but I've learned that that's okay, too. It's part of it.”[25:17] - “The more sunshine gets on those secrets, the less power they have over me.”Subscribe and ReviewHave you subscribed to our podcast?
