概要

 Episode 114: If you—or someone you love—has gone through therapy, rehab, or wilderness treatment organizations and still feel completely lost, this episode is for you. Life after treatment can feel brutally confusing: you’re back home, at risk of falling into old patterns, and everyone expects you to be “better,” but inside you still feel stuck, ashamed, or behind.In this conversation, I sit down with Colin MacDonald, co-founder of NOT Therapy, to unpack why life after treatment is so hard and what you can actually do about it—whether you’re the young adult trying to rebuild or the parent trying to help without making things worse. As a teenager, Colin cycled through psych wards, wilderness therapy in the Utah desert, and a therapeutic boarding school he once ran away from on foot. Later, he built a successful career in sports and tech—then walked away to create the support he wishes he had as a young adult: real-world structure, daily mentorship, and a community of people who actually get it.We discuss how NOT Therapy helps 16–29-year-olds move from feeling stuck to in-motion—often staying out of higher levels of care, finding work or school paths that fit, and rebuilding trust at home. If you’re a parent terrified your kid is “wasting their potential,” a 20-something living at home and feeling behind, or someone who’s been through treatment and still feels lost, you’ll walk away with concrete next steps—not just inspiring quotes.In this episode, you’ll learn:The 3 biggest gaps in traditional treatment & therapy—and why so many young people crash when they come homeA simple 30-day post-treatment blueprint for coming home without going backwardsThe difference between being emotionally fluent (“I know what I feel”) and emotionally functional (“I know what to do with my feelings”)The mindset shifts and conversations that help parents move from the director of their child's life to a guideCONNECT WITH COLIN:Instagram - @coach_colinmacNot Therapy - @not.therapy.coachingWebsite - https://www.nottherapy.me/CONNECT WITH AMANDA:Don’t forget to share this show with a friend and subscribe for weekly conversations on identity, healing, purpose, andbecoming your future self.
