Bachelor Nation’s Clayton Echard is giving his childhood self some tenderness, love and attention on Instagram!
“The Bachelor” alum has made a major career pivot from being a reality TV star to embracing health and wellness. The 29-year-old is now a health coach and also reveals important parts of herself on social media.
The results of Echard’s season of “The Bachelor” greatly shaped her decision to open up about her past on Instagram and Twitter.
The Blast has covered many aspects of how Echard has opened his heart and slowly entered the field of health coaching. Echard has been speaking at a mental health conference, where he has shown screenshots of hateful direct messages he received after the final. Echard dumped both Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia at one point, after revealing he had fallen in love with not only them but his third baby, Susie Evans.
A year after the ‘Bachelor’ season aired, Echard is still using Instagram to openly discuss her mental health on Instagram.
Go Deep With Clayton Echard As He Discusses His Mental Health
Echard, who began dating Evans after the season ended, has openly discussed her mental health through various social media platforms.
She often opens up on Instagram about where her heart is. Last month, Echard discussed her past in an Instagram post, where she opened up about how the confrontation has helped her understand herself, and “find [his] peace of mind.”
Echard also opens up about the experiences that can come from fame and what can happen when that fame wears off.
He touched on how the release of dopamine has played a role in his relationship with fame, and how he began to experience sadness when the whirlwind of fame began to slow down.
“I’m no longer a ‘hot commodity’ and even though I say I’m fine with that, I can’t help but feel sad. I want to get back to normal, but getting back to normal is hard to get back when you’ve experienced unbelievable things,” Echard wrote in his Instagram post on his iPhone.
Echard Addresses Childhood Trauma In Recent Instagram Post
Feelings of inadequacy had plagued Echard for a long time in his life.
The now-single Echard posted a childhood photo on the ‘gram Thursday, where she went into more detail about how she didn’t know the source of where the unresolved pain kept coming from. He was still a teenager when he started experiencing mental health problems.
Captioning the set of photos, Echard wrote, “Most of my life I struggled with self-confidence, feelings of inadequacy and self-love, but I wasn’t sure where these feelings came from for so long… until I started looking back at my past, ” he began.
“I think a lot of my pain stems from unresolved trauma from my childhood. For so long, I believed I could run away from it, and eventually, time would heal and I would forget my pain,” explained Echard. “But that’s not how it works. Many of us face issues today that start when we’re children and the only way we’ll ever truly overcome these struggles is if we finally deal with what we’ve been suppressing all along,” he continued.
“This is me in 7th grade. When my mental health struggles began. I still see this face in the mirror sometimes,” said the “Bachelor” alum, “It’s still a part of me. But, I was finally ready to find the answer to the problem I had been avoiding all this time. I’m excited to be able to share my story with you all here soon… to share the untold story of ‘sunshine…’ because being able to tell my story with confidence has brought an unparalleled peace. I hope that by reading a little of my story, you will find that confidence in yourself to learn and share more about your story as well,” Echard concluded in his post.
Echard’s post received a very positive response.
Nick Thompson of “Love Is Blind” commented, “Such a powerful message. Confidence is hard and takes time. Thank you for sharing your story. It helps us all,” he said.
“So proud of you for starting your self love journey,” one fan commented on her post, “It’s so healing. But the healing isn’t pretty and it hurts and you have to face some truths BUUUTT, it’s totally worth every tear. Only those strong enough to face the trauma that has followed us into adulthood. I’m glad you’re no longer running from your inner child. Get to know him. Tell him he’s safe!! Sending you all love and light through your journey!!!”
“Sunshine” may be the title of Echard’s book, which he revealed in the comments section, will be released soon!
