On this episode of Superhero Therapy, we’re honored to welcome Jon Huertas (Detective Javier Esposito in the TV Show Castle) for a powerful and heartfelt conversation about healing together.
Together, we explore:
Healing from PTSD
Humor as a survival tool in the face of injustice
Humanity, hope, and showing up for each other
Chosen family and quiet acts of care
Jon shares insights from portraying Esposito, his lived experience, and the importance of recognizing trauma — not to fix it, but to stand with it.
This episode is about resilience, connection, and what it means to keep your humanity when the world gets dark.

It's with heavy hearts that we find ourselves at the end our magical Harry Potter adventure. Due to J.K.Rowling's ignorant stance on Trans rights, and the insatiable corporate greed, we can no longer, in good conscience, continue with the Harry Potter Therapy podcast. We love the Harry Potter universe, we love the fans, and we support our trans family. However, we can no longer support the franchise. We love and honor all of you who have joined us on this magical journey and hope that you consider supporting our upcoming future projects. Be safe. Be kind. Stay magical and mischief managed.
