The Truth About Treatment Resistant Veterans
Sometimes healing feels more like trial and error than progress. Brian Livesay knows that firsthand. After a decade in uniform and years working in veteran care, he's learned that recovery is about connection, honesty, and finding what actually works for each person. In this conversation, Brian and Scott talk about how therapy can go wrong when it's too rigid, the fear of making that first call for help, and why moral injury still gets overlooked in veteran care. It's a hopeful look at what happens when we stop trying to "fit" into a treatment plan and start listening to what we really need.
