You Swore You’d Never Be Like Him… Until You Were
I want you to hear this—because this is where cycles get broken or repeated. If you ever swore you’d never be like him… and then one day heard his voice come out of your mouth, this Short is for you. Generational trauma is real. Psychologically, we don’t start with a blank slate—we inherit scripts, nervous systems, and survival patterns written long before we were born.
I’m Michael. I’m a psychologist in training, a recovered alcoholic, and a dad who takes this seriously. In this clip, I talk about epigenetics, generational trauma, and why Scripture says the sins of the father visit the third and fourth generation. But more importantly, we talk about how to stop the bleeding—because if you don’t heal yourself, your children will have to heal from you.

About Michael
I'm Michael, a mental health creator, recovered alcoholic, future therapist, and the host of Sober Psychology. After realizing how much of the traditional mental health conversation misses the mark, I decided to build a space dedicated to raw, unfiltered self-examination and personal healing. My approach combines psychological principles with brutal honesty and hard truths, cutting through the noise to help people navigate their own growth. No toxic positivity, no hidden shame—just real conversations about what it actually takes to heal.
