40 - Interview with Jack W. Gregory (part 2)

Healing for Male Survivors with Mike Chapman

Jack W Gregory also known as The Accidental Journalist. He is a UK-based author, consultant, and actor among many things. He battles from being sexually trafficked within the UK Special School System, dealing with rejection, fear, mental illness, addiction, and criminality. He found myself homeless and addicted to crack cocaine. In 2014, he got clean and sober and began to change his life. In 2015, he had a near-death experience that changed his perspective on life. He found a new purpose in sobriety and is now a Hollywood Consultant, Actor, Poet, Journalist, Author, Award-Winning & Festival-Selected Filmmaker, and Podcaster. He has also written several books (one about survivors of human trafficking). He regularly consults for the UK's National Health Service, educating newly qualified doctors on how to deal with addicts. He has also spoken in churches, schools, and colleges about his life, taking back our own stories, and finding recovery through creativity.

In this part 2, after a near-death experience after being hospitalized for nearly 2 months, Jack continues telling his story, including his baptism and becoming a film consultant and a film & TV actor. He also talks about being an author and coming to terms with being a victim of Sex Trafficking when he was a teenager. We then discuss his Healing Journey and what things helped.
