Yesterday we quietly published episode 3 of the Breakup Cabaret.

An important component of this project is it’s rawness- the subject matter is outlined in advance, but much of the storytelling is unscripted. This time, as the camera rolled, we captured Lauren having a flashback.

It doesn’t look like much other than stillness. But for Lauren it was halting. We decided to publish some of what was captured in the spirit of rawness, of honesty, and of de-stigmatizing mental illnesses such as Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

You can skip to just the song if you like, but it would mean a lot if you would watch the whole video. It isn’t scary to witness- again, it just looks like stillness.

Storytelling is powerful. Thanks for listening.
