The Badass Counseling Show
Living With the Greatest Losses
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this counseling episode, each guest has suffered an enormous loss: one of a parent at a young age, and one of a child. Sal wants to be relieved of the burden of losing his father and having to live with a manipulative mother who refuses to acknowledge the pain she has caused him. Pierce just wants to wake up each day without the crushing weight of being the mother of a murdered son. Very different stories, but Sven - and the two guests - insightfully find healing in the common threads. Explicit content.
