Dangerous But Good

In this eye-opening episode of Dangerous But Good, Craig Wilkinson is joined by Registered Counsellor and Mental Health Educator Senzekile Shongwe. Together, they explore the root of emotional trauma, the importance of self-love, and how unhealed wounds affect our lives and relationships. From setting boundaries to healing from toxic relationships, Senzi offers profound insights into mental wellness — especially in the South African context. They unpack why talk therapy matters, how to avoid emotional burnout, and what it truly means to have a relationship with yourself. A transformative conversation about hope, healing, and the courage it takes to deal with your pain.
