So Lonesome I Could Cry

Sven Erlandson
About this episode

Sven counsels Vito, whose parents gave him the clear message that their feelings and needs were more important than his. He was often left alone as a child, living in a remote area. And now in his 30's, he has no idea who he really is. Sven helps Vito understand how he defined himself as a kid, how it's affecting his adult life, and what he can do about it. Explicit content.
