Burying Trauma
In this week's episode, Clark sits down with his high school friend Jim opens up about the early traumas he kept hidden, the pain of silence, and the dangerous road it led him down β including substance abuse, emotional breakdowns, and eventually, a murder conviction.
Jim reflects on his time in prison, the brutal realities of the Texas prison system, and the slow climb toward healing through therapy, faith, and facing his past head-on. This episode is a reminder of how unspoken pain can shape a life β and how telling your truth can set you free.
