Positively Negative Attention

The Badass Counseling Show

Is negative attention better than no attention at all? In this counseling episode, Sven works with Gia and Leif, two individuals with seemingly different stories but similar feelings of being lost, alone, and insecure.

Listen in for these impactful examples of parental messaging and actions that can have seriously destructive effects for years and years. Explicit content.
