Since childhood, Julio Rivera has battled with Bipolar Disorder, CPTSD, and ADHD. Over the years, these experiences built up to the point of not only suicide ideation, but also MULTIPLE suicide attempts. Today, he’s a Writer, a Mental Health advocate, and Martial Arts Coach.
Tune in, as Julio explains how body building, Jiu Jitsu, and writing became his creative outlets; even though the deeper root causes still afflicted him and were left unprocessed. He also describes the “first person” perspective of one who is bipolar and the dark depths of a suicidal mind. We also discuss his new book “Internal Jiu Jitsu: Conquering Mind and Body Resistance by Giving Way”.
