A Date With Darkness Podcast is hosted by Dr. Natalie Jones PsyD, a psychotherapist in Oakland, CA. Join Dr. Jones for an intimate discussion about the effects of being in abused and how to heal from relationship trauma.

Confession #3. Kareem Puranda, LPC and owner of Self Talk Counseling and Consulting in Charlotte, NC discusses growing up in a violent environment in NY, and how that experience influenced his experience as a law enforcement officer in the Salisbury PD. Kareem also discusses the pivotal moment in his law enforcement career in which violence escalated, was caught on film, and made him re-evaluate his behavior. His experience was the motivation behind his book.
