A short podcast/YouTube clip featuring Josh Trent and another speaker describing an intense 'dark night of the soul' experience. The guest recounts severe dissociation (three months of lost memory, risky behavior) and frames it as a crossroads with a choice toward escape or light; Josh emphasizes that the darkness is temporary and encourages cultivating joy, presence, and personal journey work.

It was really like shaking hands with the devil. It feels like someone else is taking over your body and playing you. So I was gone for three months. I have no memory at all from what I've been doing. I had been traveling to weird places, going to people I would never go to otherwise. It's like a crossroad at the end of a road. And then you get a choice. Do you want to really get away from here, or do you want to go to the light?
When I'm in the dark. When we're in the dark, it is so important to know that it is temporary. Because just that awareness alone, that the darkness can be and is temporary, allows one to not get stuck.
The best work that you could ever do is to work on your joy and your presence and your own journey.
