Part 6/15:
Despite his struggles, Theo highlights the crucial role of community and support. He shares a poignant story about a call with his brother, who offered to sit quietly beside him without judgment—a simple but powerful act that brought Theo to tears. That moment of unconditional presence, of just “being here,” touched a deep part of him he wasn’t aware needed attention.
He emphasizes the importance of asking for help, whether through therapy, 12-step programs, or leaning on friends and family. He recognizes that vulnerability isn’t weakness, but strength, and that reaching out is essential to healing. Theo also discusses the significance of genuine support and how moments of shared silence can be as healing as words.
