PerformWell Podcast

⚠️ CONTENT WARNING This episode contains honest discussion of sexual abuse, violence, murder, drug addiction, and grief. Listener discretion is advised.
──────────────────────────────────
Matt Harris was born into a generational cycle of violence, abuse, and silence. By the time he was 13, he had survived sexual abuse from a family member, witnessed his brother commit murder, had his identity changed by deed poll, and been moved between hostels to escape the people hunting his family.
This is the story of how one man decided the cycle ends with him. In this episode of The Former Podcast, Matt opens up about generational trauma, breaking the cycle of abuse, and what it actually takes for a man to heal — not just cope, not just survive, but break the pattern so it doesn't pass to the next generation.
If you've ever thought "I don't want to become my father" or "something in my family has to stop with me" — this conversation is for you.
WHAT WE COVER:
→ How generational trauma gets passed down through families
→ The two "fractures" that defined Matt's childhood
→ Why he used drugs daily for 3 years to numb the pain
→ How fitness became both a lifeline AND another form of avoidance
→ Breaking his silence publicly in 2018
→ Walking 105 miles of the South Downs Way to process his sister's death
→ What it means to be "The Unhealed Man"
→ How any man can start breaking his own generational cycle today Matt is currently writing his book, The Unhealed Man.
