## Resource

John reflects on a life shaped by addiction, physical suffering, and a deeply ingrained sense of self-judgment. In this powerful conversation, Peter invites him to look beyond the idea that freedom comes from changing or repairing the past, and instead toward the story that has been informing how he sees himself and his life. As that story is brought into awareness, John begins to relate to himself, his body, and his experience from a different place. Episode 12 will air February 10 .
