Most people don’t relapse because they’re weak they relapse because the system is broken. In this eye-opening finale with Trish Caldwell, we dismantle the outdated practices still plaguing mental and physical healthcare today. From rushed trauma processing to therapy models designed for the wrong population, Trish breaks down how ego, convenience, and old training can sabotage true healing. Whether you're a clinician, patient, or loved one this conversation forces all of us to confront the uncomfortable truth: most treatment plans are designed to feel good, not to work. They're simply coming from an outdated approach that needs to evolve. But there's another way. Trish shares how measured-based care, proper pacing, and skill-building can change the future of recovery. You'll hear powerful metaphors (like why healing is like training for a marathon in flip-flops) and bold insights that challenge everything we’ve accepted about mental health, trauma recovery, and treatment outcomes. If you’ve ever felt like you or someone you care about “failed” in treatment this episode is your permission slip to question the system, not yourself.
- To the professionals: What will you change in your practice today?
- To the self-healers: What’s your next step in recognizing, regulating, and responding differently?
- To the skeptics: What if everything you believed about healing... is wrong?
This is your mind. This is your moment. What will you do with it?
