    Dodge, I’ve not got more than a few minutes through this and the comment about your compassionate interview technique was as a result of seeing someone else talk to Steve and really push him into trauma. I’m so pleased you could make your talk such a safe place for him to express himself at his pace. I said it before and I’ll say it again you get the story without retraumatising your guests. I’m so pleased you’ve spoken to him exactly the way I thought. Well done to you and an huge well done to Steve having the courage to come on and share his experiences of life. Very very brave man. Edit now I’ve seen it all, his reactions resonate with me so much. Thank you to you both.

What a brave, honest soul he is and how he got off everything in an instant after the hell he went through shows his strength of character, put lightly. Dodge, you handled this interview impeccably, your compassion and genuine care for Steve was clear to see. 🙏🏼

    @@CrazySteveAlone Thanks for doing this Steve. I'm about your age, and for most of my life I've suffered from severe anxiety, depression and panic attacks, as a result of childhood trauma, so I relate to your story a lot. For about a decade, even leaving the house was a massive struggle for me, and I used to self medicate a lot with alcohol and anti-anxiety medication (benzos). After being completely addicted to benzos for five years, I finally hit rock bottom and decided to get help. Even though talking to people about my problems helped me feel a bit better in the short term, I was still carrying around all the trauma and emotional baggage from my childhood, and withdrawal symptoms from trying to come off the benzos made my anxiety and panic attacks ten times worse. Most of the therapy I received was pretty useless at actually getting to the root cause of the problem, but eventually I found a therapy approach called EFT (emotional freedom technique), which was an absolute game changer. After about ten sessions, 90% of my anxiety was gone, permanently, and I haven't had a panic attack in about four years. I still get a little bit of anxiety every now and then, which is normal, but it no longer completely dominates my whole life like it used to. Coming off the benzos was probably the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, but with the help of EFT I managed to do it. I'd highly recommend giving it a try. It literally saved my life.

    Powerful, listening to such openness at painful experiences. Dealing with the rage it causes is a huge step forward. In my experience as a survivor, I've found, that feeling in the morning/during the day, never truly leaves you. Sadly. You just learn to live with it abit better than you used too. All power to you in your new journey x

    It takes a proper man to open up about the stuff they've got wrong in the past, mistakes they've made and the ability to hold their hands up and admit that they made those mistakes. Great interview. Total admiration for Steve to open up and talk about his life, his actions and his emotions. I have nothing but respect for that. As for the podcast, it's the usual top quality. Letting the guest talk without interrupting and asking the right questions at a pace the guest is comfortable with. That's a great skill to have.

    Wow what a powerful story and Steve, you are an amazingly brave Man to talk so openly about your life, trauma, trials and tribulatons. It is clear to me you have a great heart and the horrific cards you have been dealt early in your life are the things that no Child should ever have to experience. I hope and pray that your Children from your first relationship find it in their hearts to understand what you have been through and get back in touch because for sure they are missing out on a potentially wonderful relationship with their Father. I know you have the potential to help so many people by sharing what you have been through and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you are doing now and are looking to do to help people going through issues with mental health. Good luck and the best of health to you Steve and like Dodge said your a good Man.

I'm so happy for him knowing he has found the love he so much deserves and all I wish for him is the best in life .. also suffer from adhd and know how hard it can be to communicate and to be able to put things into words. It's a daily struggle and feel so misunderstood because I just can't express my self its a nightmare.. I'm currently looking at hypnotherapy as I just don't know where or who to turn to .. all the best lads .

    How he’s feeling now I can totally relate to. The anxiety, depression, health anxiety I’ve got it all to. It’s the worst feeling ever. Felt this one more than any other interview. Takes courage to speak out but it does help with closure slowly. It’s the life you have lived which has put you where you are today. We all have a story to tell and hidden demons. Very brake to speak on a live podcast.

    Very powerful interview Dodge I can relate to some of the stuff Steve has been through. I was sent to a boarding school in the mid seventies at the age of seven and a half and then sent into a children's home during school holidays until I was 16 then sent to young affenders prison when I was 18 for 6mths for violence

    This guy is a good guy at heart. You can tell from listening. The shit this poor blokes been through as a kid change his path in life. He shouldn’t have had to go through all that and if he hadn’t he wouldn’t have turned into “crazy Steve “ . Makes me so angry hearing about all these stories of people in positions of power abusing kids and ruining their lives. It’s so unfair guys like this have to go through what he’s going through still to this day. Good on him for turning a corner and changing from the violence and trouble. should be proud he’s turned life around. Life’s precious and shouldn’t be thrown away . Easy for me to say I guess as I’m not going through what he has and is. I wish him all the best for the future and thanks for sharing the story.

    @kyliebaby1391 i tried to like and reply to your comment but my phone is being an eejit I completely agree with what you said about dodge. The best thing about it is that I don't think it's calculated behaviour by him. I think it just boils down to the fact that Dodge is just as much as a lad as his guests - he's on a level. You can tell by the way he carries himself that he's not some naïve journalist who hasn't got a clue. Thats why these interviews are so easy to watch. It's like listening to 2 pals having a chat down the pub

    Another example of how a traumatic childhood can affect a persons entire life. This may sound odd,but learning that some of the worst murderers,rapists,gangsters etc had traumatic childhoods makes me so sad since it’s clearly the cause of their criminality,worse still they had no choice in taking that path of criminality I read somewhere that half of the prisoners in the USA had severe mental health problems(either due directly to their childhood or a psychiatric illness) and should really be treated as such rather than in prison,which as Steve points out,just worsens the persons condition. Steve does a great job of explaining this because as he points out nobody ‘really listen’ and actually help unless they’ve been through it themselves. Again,someone who now is an intelligent,well spoken,genuine,polite and caring person who at first look at you’d never think he was(another lesson this podcast teaches,never judge) This is one of the reasons I became a Paediatric Nurse as I felt children need a childhood with positive reinforcement(in particular teenagers). I worked in a Children’s hospice and people would always naturally say how sad that must be,my reply was always the same,yes it is however I found children in the kind of abusive,poor homes/environment’s far sadder since they have a life but it’s slowly being destroyed through no fault of their own. So again,Thank you Steve and Dodge. Steve you’ve helped more people than you’ll ever know with this podcast and your book,you’re a good man. ❤

    MASSIVE RESPECT for this good man. Expressing oneself vulnerably is the most courageous thing a person can do. You should be hugely proud of yourself for getting through the hell you went through, your resilience and your immense strength. Trauma is no joke. I know you said nothing will ever get rid of it but I’d strongly suggest looking into psychedelic therapy (I have done psilocybin therapy twice and it completely saved my life and unloaded all that heavy childhood trauma off my back. I can finally relax, sleep, feel joy and safety again). Regardless, thank you ❤

    Massive respect to you Steve, what happened to you was NOT your fault, you were a child still & people used your innocence for their benefit. Mate, I can't imagine how you coped, but please believe me, you are strong, very strong to have made it this far, many haven't! Whatever you are doing now is working & you have the support & love of a good woman, just keep looking forward, you can't change the past but you can steer your future & I am going to read your book, by doing so is just my small way of trying to show my support financially & remember you are helping lots of others get through & deal with their own lives.
