S2E26: Wrestling with Demons - Interview with Mark Smith

from Dream to Rise · host Cynthia Encinas-Concordia

Have you been wrestling with demons?  Years of professional wrestling took a physical toll on our guest’s life which he realized later, so did the abuse and emotional trauma he suffered as a child growing up in Georgia, an environment filled with prejudice, an angry father and a drug addicted stepfather. In this interview with our guest, Mark Smith, he will share with us his special events in his life which led him to the classroom.  He earned degrees in Psychology and family counseling.  He spent years in church, sharing his lessons in life and discovered his answers through faith. This then led him to write his book, “Wrestling with Demons”.  He shared his feelings and experiences about his journey which helped others, even veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), to work through their emotional scars. Smith said this has led him on a path toward healing.  Let us listen to Mark’s story.
