Description

In today’s deeply moving episode, John shares a story most therapists would never dare reveal - the client who still haunts him years later. This isn’t about clinical textbooks or success stories. It’s about the raw, unfiltered truth of what happens when therapy collides with real life, addiction, and the weight of responsibility no one prepares you for.


What you’ll learn:



  • Why peace matters more than ever in today’s noisy world

  • The hidden trauma therapists experience alongside their clients

  • What it feels like when a client disappears under your care

  • Why not every therapist is “the one” who changes a client’s life

  • How to protect your peace and boundaries, even in chaos


Where do you find peace - and how do you protect it? Drop your answer in the comments.
