When The Bough Breaks (Legacy)

Jason shares his story of estrangement with Alexis

Though our guest Alexander Desmerais suffered the most vile of childhood traumas, and continues to be estranged from any meaningful family bonds, he has developed a productive approach to life that should serve as an example to all of us. He reminds us that no matter how terrible an experience, it is temporary. He goes on to teach us that trauma is as impermanent as we’re willing to do the work to make it.

...Alexander Desmarais is an undergraduate student working to become a counselor.
