This episode is as real as it gets—a midnight phone call from a brother barely hanging on, baring his soul because he has nowhere else to turn. I share the raw, unfiltered truth of what it’s like to sit with a man on the edge, wrestling with addiction, family breakdown, the scars of war, and the accusation of being a “narcissist” when all you ever wanted was to love your kids and survive the wreckage.

We talk about numbness, regret, being misunderstood, and what it’s like to be trained for destruction only to come home and not know how to build a life. I open up about the powerlessness of trying to help when you don’t have the answers—about being the lifeline in the dark, even as you’re barely holding on yourself.

If you’ve ever been the one who answered the call, or the one who made it—this is for you.

No fixing. No judgment.

Just truth, presence, and the hope that lives in not giving up on each other.

Tonight, therapy is just refusing to hang up.
