  • THIS IS NOT COUNSELING

    This guy has no credibility. He is not trauma informed in the slightest. Nothing about this is counseling he says it in the disclaimer it’s for entertainment purposes only. That’s so great how people’s real life childhood trauma and lifelong struggles now served up as entertainment…got it.

  • Wow!!

    I have been struggling my whole life. I have real issues with both of my parents, I got off the phone with my mom who is in severe denial and searched up denial on podcasts so I could understand. The generational denial episode came up… I’ve been binge listening ever since. Bought the book and and hoping to change my mental state and be the best I can be for my kids. I relate to almost every episode in one way or another. What wisdom you have Sven, thank you!!
