What if you were never broken?

What if anxiety… addiction… dissociation…
weren’t disorders — but survival strategies?

In this powerful episode of Crosstalk, Dr. Jeff Ball (Founder of Psychological Care & Healing) challenges the question we’ve all been asked:

Not “What’s wrong with you?”
But “What happened to you?”

If you’ve ever:
• Felt boxed in by a diagnosis
• Been told “this is just who you are”
• Been overmedicated or misunderstood
• Wondered if you’re fundamentally broken

This conversation will hit home.

Dr. Ball shares why:
✨ Symptoms often begin as protection
✨ Diagnosis without context can do harm
✨ Medication isn’t evil — but it isn’t the whole answer
✨ Healing requires feeling, not avoiding
✨ We all move through the same emotional states

The difference isn’t who struggles.
It’s who has support.

This episode is honest. Human. Hopeful.
And it might change how you see yourself.

Adults with serious mental health challenges often experience the world through a sensory lens that is very different from neurotypical adults. Difficulties with sensory processing can impact emotion regulation, daily functioning, interpersonal relationships, and engagement in treatment.

In this in-house CE presentation, PCH occupational therapist Olivia Levy, OTR/L provide an overview of sensory processing in adulthood, explore how sensory modulation difficulties show up in serious mental illness, and introduce practical, trauma-informed strategies that clinicians can incorporate into their work. The session will integrate case examples from the PCH setting and offer concrete tools that providers can use immediately to support regulation, participation, and safety.
