CBC
About this episode

When David began to do therapy using cannabis with Hillary, he had very few childhood memories. So he was surprised to find a really big question about whether he was beaten surface in his consciousness. In this session, we hear David grappling with the truth of what happened to him. Hillary shepherds him through healing the imprint his suffering has left on his body, even as she admits the truth about what happened to him might never be known.
