This Isn’t Therapy

A couple living in denial


Listen Later

This Isn't Therapy... it’s the episode about being in denial. I’m not in denial, you are! In this episode, Jake and Simon unpack this common psychological defence mechanism - why someone might be in denial, where it might stem from, and how this shows up in couples. They also dip their toe in the waters of couple therapy and provide some insight into how couples therapy works by following up with Casey and Sarah (our resident case study couple!), who are going through a rough patch in their relationship.

P.S. Jake and Simon start a delicious debate about hand washing. Get in touch via socials and let us know whose side you’re on! (Simon is in maje denial on this one!…)
