'LIVE FROM THE SECTION'
Episode 2 explores what happens when pain is met with pressure instead of guidance.
This episode reflects on being told to “be strong,” “toughen up,” and “handle it,” without ever being shown how. Through spoken-word narration, Kariem Ali shares how masking emotions, suppressing tears, and forcing toughness led to self-medication, addiction, and vivid intrusive memories.
The story dives into using substances to numb pain, attempting to erase both good and bad memories, and realizing that trauma doesn’t disappear when avoided. Instead, those memories return — replaying until they are acknowledged.
This episode also highlights two key PTSD responses woven into the story: self-medication as survival, and the mind’s tendency to relive trauma through thoughts, dreams, and flashes.
This is not about failure.
This is about surviving the only way you knew how.
If this episode feels familiar, you’re not alone.
We in this together.
