The Humanity of Pain – Kevin Breel (VIDEO)

Published by Greg Heffron on

In this video, young comedian Kevin Breel speaks frankly about his experience with depression. While depression gets a good amount of public discussion, we mostly hear about brain chemistry and medications, while hearing little about the actual. By speaking the gentle human truth of his struggles, Breel opens space for others to feel their own human pain without judgment. This is “green light” communication, allowing the truth to arise clearly and simply, without blame — and yet also without suppressing the poignancy of the experience.
