Episode 225: Not everyone can be saved

In the popular imagination, every emotional wound can be healed
with sufficient time and adequate treatment. However, this is not
true. Not everyone can be saved, and therapy doesn't always work.
What's more, when it does work, it often creates a kind of scar,
which (like its physical analogue) lacks the suppleness and
sensitivity of the original material. We all must grieve what
doesn't return through healing. That said, there is usually
enough left over for us to keep moving forward.
