005 Joshua Johnson - T is for Trauma

In this episode, David sits down with Joshua Johnson, who talks about what it was like to grow up in households with both overt domestic violence, and covert racism and religiosity, how the pressure to perform academically and contribute financially as a teenager led to depression and increasingly self destructive patterns, why his complicated relationship with his mother made grieving her passing incredibly difficult, and how he was able to reconnect with his spirituality, and get his career back on track, after so many challenges in young adulthood.
