Julio Rivera is a writer and mental health advocate who has lived with bipolar disorder, CPTSD, and ADHD.  When he was around eight years old, he witnessed a murder that triggered all his disorders.  The murderer was his best friend's dad. 

Julio grew up in a very dangerous neighborhood in Brooklyn in the 80's, gangs, drugs, and violence were all around him. He was scared, and began a journey to rise above the danger, and take control of his fears.

Now, decades on, Julio is a martial arts instructor, and is passionate about empowering people because of his own experiences with mental illness and trauma.  

His new book is out now, Internal Jiu Jitsu: How to Conquer Mind and Body Resistance by Giving Way.
