When The One You Trust Is A Monster

Sven Erlandson
About this episode

In this emotional counseling episode, Yvette thinks she is coming on the show to discuss her abusive relationship with a man who is now in jail. But Sven understands her pain is rooted in sexual abuse at age 5 at the hands of her father. Are abusive relationships inevitable because of what she was taught as a child?  Sven encourages Yvette to confront her 5-year-old self and face her feelings -- and the truth about her innocent self. Explicit content.
