I try multiple different apps and the podcast does not play. It happens on a weekly basis

This guy has no credibility. He is not trauma informed in the slightest. Nothing about this is counseling he says it in the disclaimer it’s for entertainment purposes only. That’s so great how people’s real life childhood trauma and lifelong struggles now served up as entertainment…got it.

I’m a disabled veteran, married to my highschool sweetheart, who cheated on me twice, once before our marriage, and a period after… just found out last thanksgiving. Found out that I’m a people pleaser and never thought that possible, as I was an 11b Infantryman. Never had an issue standing my ground, except with my marriage. Been married since 1999 when we found out she was pregnant, and I came ‘to the rescue’ . Thought for years that I was the white knight, finally realized that I was the court jeaster. Thank you Sven.

I have been struggling my whole life. I have real issues with both of my parents, I got off the phone with my mom who is in severe denial and searched up denial on podcasts so I could understand. The generational denial episode came up… I’ve been binge listening ever since. Bought the book and and hoping to change my mental state and be the best I can be for my kids. I relate to almost every episode in one way or another. What wisdom you have Sven, thank you!!

I would give the show five stars if the only sweared less. The F bombs are disgusting. Enough!

I listen to this episode and was left a little confused & cliff hung on the stonewalling. I made accusation to my wife married to for 18 years and shouldn’t had of her cheating. I didn’t have proof My question is your answer of stonewalling, is caused by the other spouse did not cheat or that she did? She has stonewalled me and also my kids follow suit. Her and my kids will not speak to me unless spoken to or somethings wrong or needed

Becca, I went through this too…there are apps now you can get on your smart phone that you can hide and password lock. It took me 2-3yrs but I started again this way. Now, today I’m writing in a paper journal for almost a year now (btw, that when it’s full I burn) and at this point today I’ve began through what started as an assignment in a law class I’m taking after deciding to return to school, work on my personal narrative. DO NOT GIVE UP!!! It is hard, YOU Can DO hard things!

Sven’s podcasts have become a profoundly helpful and healing counter message to all of the negative messaging I got as a child. If you are looking for a better, faster way to heal through self directed therapy his podcasts and his books are phenomenal. No joke. I have been in therapy on and off since 1997 and I have been able to heal more in the last three months since I found his work than I have in the last 27 years. If you are tired of slow, ineffective therapy and are a DIY type who is ready to dive deep and get work done, Sven’s work will help you like nothing else. His work has changed my life in a profound way. I personally can’t handle the counseling episodes of the podcast, but I LOVE the Q&A lighting rounds where Sven goes on mini rants in response to people’s questions. I really enjoy those episodes.

I am in the middle of reading “There’s a hole in my love cup”. I just listened to an episode where I really identified with the caller’s story. The quote from the episode that was hilarious, yet painful for me to realize that it was applicable to me was “Your love cup is full of MANURE and ROCKS!” Yes, Sven, I have a lot more work to do. I like your style.

I came across a snippet of your show on Pinterest and was immediately hooked. I like your rawness and examples of your life lessons. New subscriber here. Thanks Kimberly

After your first few TikTok’s; i immediately added you on my podcast! ALSO I’ve never listened to podcasts before so you’re are my first!😮‍💨💪🏽💯 I’m ready to start my healing journey!🥹🙏🏽🩵

You are brilliant!! I love your insights and empathy. I feel like you talk to me every time. Thank you so much.

I’ve been spiraling for a while now and came across Sven on TikTok. His podcasts give me comfort and gives me hope that I am capable of change. Definitely worth the listen!

Before I found this podcast i found the book I am really enjoying the book so I started listening to the podcast as well! I think they are both great, they are real and get to the point with out all the fluff.

I always believed that therapy does not need to go on for years. If you are looking to change then your approach is “gold”.

Just listened to Back from the Abyss. First time I’ve shed a tear in years.😭 I don’t know how or why except that I prayed for healing. I started listening to the videos on Facebook. All I know is I am grateful.

Glad I stumbled upon this podcast!

I want to listen to this but all the “f_ _ _ _ _ g” cursing really bothers me, I can not handle all that language and even taking “God’s” name in vain. I am not a religious fanatic but this kind of language is bad. 😔

Add listening to this guy to your self care plan. Even if you don’t have the same challenges with interpersonal relationships (which means you’re lying to yourself), you’ll improve your recognition when a toxic person comes into your life, and know exactly how to deal with them!

Thank God for TikTok I just found this guy and man he is the therapy I need to hear. Thank you!

I found you on TikTok and was drawn into what you shared. You have a blessing with the ability to reach those of us that needed you even though we never knew you existed until now.

Came across you on tic tok and I watched them for hours . They were so informative and caring and non judge mental. Also love your straight forward tactic and yet you seem to really care about humans . You speak my language all the way to the cussing and love your energy! A lot of them really hit my soul. So I started listening to the podcasts and now I have ordered the book. Ready to do the work- just didn’t know where to start and how. Hopeful the book helps me immensely! 🖤 Jen

I’ve never had anyone get to me like this man!! Straight to the point, no judgement what so ever, spot on will the ability to get you to push past your blocks. I recommend him to everyone & anyone who is willing to listen!! I can’t say enough positive about him!!

The vulnerability shared and Sven’s ability to identify and support and emote kindness and validation is an emotional listen and well worth it

I have been struggling in my EMDR therapy to resolve the negative core belief that I’m not enough. I know I’m enough, I’m an awesome person. Something about that didn't seem to touch all the pain. After listening to Dec 3rd’s episode I had an eureka moment! It’s not that belief that’s is charged it’s the believe that I’m not wanted. This will change the course of my healing journey. I listen to everything you put out and your Live on Tik Tok. Thank you for all you do! Been flushing things out to try to heal. Keep up the work. You are helping me every day.

That’s right, I said explored. Because Sven takes you to places you’ve never even thought of going before - but you don’t realize that you need to go to heal. Highly recommend his book and podcast. You won’t be disappointed.

I don’t write reviews often but this guy has opened a whole new world for me. I’ve read the book and followed his TikToks and they have cemented my path into healing. Excited to see the podcast and thanks for everything you do Sven!!!

Sven’s insights, ideas, and ability to go deep will change you and your life forever.

I bought your book, read it & did the journaling, listen to it again when I used my credit on Audible to download it. Watch your TikTok’s & now your podcast!!! I’ve made such great progress. It definitely makes me raw but I take a break & then keep going. Just wanted to say thank you!!!

Only two episodes in and we’re already getting raw. As someone who works in the BH arena, Sven knows exactly how to artfully harvest the depths of someone’s story in a way that compels that person to get real with themselves. Only some of us know the kind of journey where you cultivate that kind of skill set. I very much so appreciate Sven launching his podcast. Lifelong subscriber here.

Been listening to Sven’s tiktok for awhile now, his words have touched my soul and helped me heal. I look forward to his podcast and his ability to reach more souls who are in pain.
