About this listen

 Sometimes we move through big human experiences that others might not understand, like psychosis, grief, addiction, euphoria, or moments that feel completely unreal. On Extremely Human, we hear from people who’ve been there and share what they’ve learned along the way. Together, we ask: how can we meet the full range of human experience with kindness and compassion?

    Not Broken
    Feb 16 2026
    In this episode, we speak with critical psychiatrist, Jon Jureidini about what it really means to be “not broken.” We explore why psychiatry often looks for simple solutions to complicated problems, how diagnosis can both help and harm, and what it looks like to support someone through tough times instead of shutting those feelings down. This episode is a reminder that not every hard experience is a medical problem—and it doesn’t mean we’re broken.
