About this episode

Come inside Sven’s counseling sessions with two clients who can’t seem to change their lives the way they want. James is separated but still living with his wife. He thinks they love each other but if he is confident enough to reveal his true self to her, she would leave him. Recovering from suicidal tendencies, he learns that dealing with old parental messages plays a critical part in his quest for a loving, fulfilling life. 

Rebecca has become unmotivated and can’t understand why. After resting for many years recovering from a chronic illness, her self-employed dream career seems to be on track but she can’t overcome her fears of not being accepted and being paid what she is clearly worth. Explicit content.
