On today’s episode of The Adverse Effect, Don shares how his one act of kindness caused him to become a media sensation. He also shares how he put his tools into practice during the most traumatic time of his life... his wife’s suicide.  

Don introduces the methods he used to dispel feelings of guilt and, most importantly, embrace the emotional aftermath of his wife’s death, enabling him to ‘ease into his grief’.
