Hurt and Crushed Oct 03, 2024

Show notes

Breck and Molly, two complete strangers, are both in a dark place. Breck always got the message that he was a "dumbass," never good enough, and he attempted suicide at age 18. Counseled by Sven to express his feelings, he says he's terrified that the feelings are coming out. When Molly's mother passed away 2 years ago, she learned that the father who raised her wasn't her bio-dad. She reconnected with bio-dad, but with distressing results. Sven goes to work with both these troubled individuals, hoping they can begin to see the light on the path to understanding and peace.
