No Magical Cure

In this episode, we pick up after a significant relapse that led to a psychiatric emergency and a short hospitalization. Miles talks about some of the practices that are supporting him now and the gradual realization that there may not be a “magical cure” for what he is dealing with. The conversation opens into deeper themes of acceptance, the difficulty of being supported without being fixed, the impact of parental care that can unintentionally become pressure, and the emotional work of allowing someone to be where they areIf you or someone you know is struggling with depression or thoughts of suicide, please reach out to a mental health professional or someone you trust.
