We are back after Eid break with a conversation with Wissam - the first of a two part episode.
Wissam shares with us about growing up under the shadow of parents who has lived through trauma, and how that relationship has defined all his life relationships. He shares a journey of self doubt, emotional neglect and bullying, that drove him to the edge, so far that he struggled with suicidal thoughts.
