The internationally-renowned Swedish artist and actor Peter Jöback opens up about overcoming the deeply rooted family secrets that made him strive for excellence to the point of breaking. He reveals the pivotal moment in rehab where he realized that his compulsive drive forward was a form of escape, and he shares how unraveling the instinct to 'be good' instead of feeling good was absolutely necessary. It’s an inspiring deep dive into the effects of abuse and shame, the darker parts of oneself and the importance of healing in order to avoid passing it on and having history repeat itself.
Peter’s recent autobiographical book 'Att bära sig själv' (To Carry Oneself) is still only available in Swedish, but in this episode, you will get unique insights from his incredibly inspiring book and hear about what he has overcome to be where he is today. Prepare yourself for an awe-inspiring, entertaining and deeply moving ride.
