🎙️ “All that silence had done was bury me deeper in shame—shame that wasn’t mine to carry.”

In this redemptive chapter of Three Times A Victim, Bruce begins the slow, courageous journey of reclaiming his voice after years of silence, toxic shame, and systemic betrayal.

Emerging from the suicidal breaking point of Episode 13, Bruce’s healing begins in the unlikeliest of places: a hospital, where a fellow patient offers something that had long been missing—compassion and belief. From there, a quiet transformation unfolds.

🕊️ What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

✔️ A life-changing moment of connection in a psychiatric hospital

✔️ The power of peer support and art therapy in trauma recovery

✔️ Rebuilding self-worth through group healing and gentle affirmation

✔️ Discovering voice not by erasing the past, but by finally telling it

✔️ Learning to live—not just survive

💡 With each small step—“I believe you,” “You’re not invisible”—Bruce begins to rise. This is a story of voice reclaimed, pain repurposed, and purpose rediscovered.
