In this raw and powerful conversation, therapist and minister [Guest Name] breaks down why so many people remain stuck in their pain — and why honesty is the non-negotiable first step to freedom. Using the lens of the horror film Smile, he unpacks how unhealed trauma metastasizes across generations, attaches to new hosts, and quietly destroys relationships.
