    Bernie remembers hating herself as early as age 6 or 7. She survived a violent childhood and abusive marriage, only to turn to her parents after her divorce for help with her 2-year-old daughter. When that situation turned horribly worse, she became determined to make it on her own. Now sober for 5 years, she seeks healing from Sven to ensure she doesn't pass her pain down to her daughter.
