We Fear Connection More Than Loss: Audience Q&A with Peaceful John

For this episode of The Small Bow Podcast, my friend Peaceful John joins the show to answer some of your questions about recovery. It should be obvious pretty quickly why I call him Peaceful John.

Thanks to everyone who wrote in (I may have snuck some questions in myself) and thanks to John for showing up and providing some answers.
