Carrying What Others Don’t See, S2 Ep5

Catherine Crawford talks about what others don't see in Season 2, Episode 5 of Let's Talk About It With OhioGuidestone

Some people who appear to “have it all together” may be carrying the heaviest burdens. Adults are often expected to keep moving forward, working, parenting, caregiving, and supporting those around them, even when they’re overwhelmed themselves. What others don’t see can make it difficult to recognize when someone needs support, which is why paying attention to warning signs and creating space for honest conversations is important.

In Season 2, Episode 5 of Let’s Talk About It With OhioGuidestone, host Derek Rader is joined by Catherine Crawford, MA, LPCC-S, Clinical Supervisor at OhioGuidestone and a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™. They discuss the hidden realities of adult mental health, the signs of emotional distress that are often overlooked, and why vulnerability should never be mistaken for weakness. Catherine also shares how DBT skills can help individuals navigate tough emotions, build resilience, and create a life worth living.

Whether you’re looking for tools to learn how to support someone you love, navigating your own journey, or want to better understand what others don’t see, this episode offers practical insights, hope, and encouragement to open meaningful conversations.
