Robert Choi spent years living in a way that looked stable from the outside but felt disconnected on the inside. A survivor of childhood abuse, neglect, and emotional abandonment, he learned early on to stay invisible—to stay safe. He didn't fall apart. He became dependable. Unshakable. And in the process, lost touch with who he really was.
For much of his adult life, Robert moved through systems—government, public agencies, consulting—focusing on what he could fix out there because it was easier than facing what he carried inside. His upcoming book, From a Human Doing to a Human Being, is a deeply personal account of what it means to stop surviving long enough to meet yourself—maybe for the first time. Robert now speaks and writes about the hidden cost of high-functioning survival, especially for those who never saw themselves as traumatized because they held everything together.
