How can a person feel compassion for others if they cannot feel compassion for themselves? The Story of Our Trauma and Dr. Shauna Springer welcomes Paul Gilmartin, comedian, and host of the podcast, The Mental Illness Happy Hour.

Gilmartin has been sober since 2003. Listen in as he and Dr. Springer dive into his trauma, addiction recovery, and how his podcast has been helping artists and others in a battle of their own.
