Episode notes
Early Trauma And Cultural Shame Shaped Him
- Niall moved to Israel at 13 and later identified physically abusive schooling in Ireland as a formative trauma that led him to emotionally cut off from the world.
- He links cultural shame and institutional practices in Ireland to widespread silence around mental health.
Panic Attack Before Live TV Changed Everything
- Niall Breslin had a severe panic attack ten minutes before his first live show on The Voice and completed the 90-minute broadcast while physically shaking and vomiting.
- That night he decided to tell friends, family, and the public about his anxiety, which changed his life trajectory.
Combine Grounding With Practical Support
- Use immediate physical cues (hands on chair, feeling feet) to interrupt panic and regain grounding during a crisis.
- Combine grounding with professional support and, if needed, brief medical aids to survive acute episodes.
