S5E100 | Daniel - Navigating & Overcoming Psychosis & Paranoia, Becoming the Wolf & the Golden Ones

Today I’m honored to have back on the show for a third time: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, military veteran, former private contractor, anti-piracy operator, and bodyguard, prison and health industry reform activist, podcaster and host of his own YouTube channel called ‘Survivor’s Story, men’s trauma and sexual abuse advocate, and the wolf in the lion’s den roaring in the face of evil: Daniel

For those new to his saga or who missed his unforgettable first episode, here’s a quick recap: Born into an expatriate family in Nigeria, Daniel’s childhood shimmered with privilege but concealed a chilling void of fear and neglect. Behind the wealth and high walls, unspeakable terrors haunted him, rooted in horrors he couldn’t yet name. As a young man, he poured his fire into a high-octane career - elite military service, private contracting in the Middle East, anti-piracy missions off Somalia, and guarding high-profile figures. Yet, beneath his high-performing exterior, self-loathing, rage, and suicidal shadows gnawed at him, their origins a mystery.

Disillusioned by the greed fueling his military path, Daniel embarked on a spiritual quest, diving into personal development and somatic therapy with relentless passion. In 2020, his world shattered and reformed. Through holistic therapies, buried memories of childhood sexual abuse including heinous organized abuses by multiple perpetrators - erupted in vivid, gut-wrenching flashbacks, plunging him into psychosis and paranoia.

From the ashes of pain, Daniel forged a lifeline: forgiveness. Not as absolution for his abusers, but as liberation for himself. Initially resistant, fearing it betrayed fellow victims and survivors, he embraced it as a radical act of freedom. By severing ties and setting ironclad boundaries, he found safety to forgive from afar, transmuting resentment into love. Through grueling psychological work, Daniel wove his trauma into purpose, emerging as a warrior for healing.

In part 1 and 2 of Daniel’s podcast appearances on this channel, we dove deep into his testimony, outlining his harrowing upbringing, his journey of remembering what he was programmed to forget, and his incredible path to freedom and healing that left all of us who listened in awe. On today’s episode, we are going to cover some different aspects of Daniel’s story that we haven’t talked about yet including an in-depth discussion on psychosis and paranoia and navigating the extreme mental and emotional side-effects that many survivors face when recalling memories, some of Daniel’s personal artwork and the memories and inspiration behind them, and so much more.

Now, through his podcast and blog under the name Survivor’s Story, Daniel turns his pain into power, uplifting men’s healing and amplifying survivors’ voices. His mission is unyielding: to inspire - especially men - to break the silence around child sexual abuse. Daniel’s words resonate like a battle anthem: “Every survivor is a hero. Set boundaries, forgive safely, and let love free you. Share your story - it matters. You can shatter trauma’s chains.” From a wounded boy to a warrior of forgiveness, Daniel’s journey is a call to action for all of us to confront our pain, reclaim our voices, and ignite our light.
