Episode Synopsis
John Callas is a veteran director/writer/producer in the entertainment industry. He began life losing his father at three triggering his anger, depression and anxiety. By twelve he was sent to military school due to extreme behavior issues. This added abandonment to the already problematic issues he was facing.
By high school it go to the point where he attempted suicide to stop the pain.
Realizing this was not the way he wanted his life he decided to seek help through therapy and mentors.
The first thing he looked at was that oddly enough his depression was a safe haven. Lonely, dark and unsustainable but safe from the outside world. Again he made the choice to find a way out of the rabbit hole. Not knowing how to heal he accepted help from others and therapy. It was in therapy he discovered that others suffered like he did and that he wasn't unique in his pain.
Making the decision to heal and have a healthy and loving life began a long journey of baby steps leading him to a successful career in the entertainment business in Hollywood. Some of his work is iconic.
His confidence began to grow until he became the person he imagined himself to be. While he acknowledges that at times depression slips back in, the difference is that he controls it and it doesn't control him. His process is to allow himself to look at what is bothering him, find a solution and move on. It isn't always easy but with perseverance he always wins.
He decided he wanted to help others so he wrote "When The Rain Stops," his memoir (on Amazon) of his beginning (depression) and how he managed to have a happy and successful life. He wants to help others find their way by his example. Once you've read his book, he is open to being contacted to chat about your process and if he can be a light in the darkness for you.
