Why Terry Is Mentally Strong
Terry had a rough childhood.
He grew up witnessingdomestic violence.
Being in the NFL reinforced some of these ideas.
And he became aware of how much shame he carried around due to his addiction to pornography.
Terry created positive changes in his life.
He sought treatment, began talking about his feelings, and worked on healing himself and his marriage.
Now, hes sharing his journey toward developing realmental strength.
Consequently, they treat themselves harshly and struggle to create positive change.
Like many people, Terry felt as though he were living a double life.
The more he suffered in silence, the worse his addiction became.
Shame and addiction often go hand-in-hand.
And then I wore myself out.
