Healing vs. Adapting

Send us a text

What if healing isn’t always possible—or even the point? In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Casey and Christopher sit down with Jonathan, a longtime special education teacher who has spent decades navigating the intersection of his own lifelong depression and a career working with students facing severe behavioral challenges.

Jonathan doesn’t offer easy answers. Instead, he shares what it means to live in the gray areas—where mental health isn’t something to "fix," and emotional survival sometimes depends more on adapting than healing.
