E149 : The Mad Hatter’s Excuse: “I Never Promised You Tea”
Series 9: The Wall and the Wonderland: When They Don’t Want to Meet You There
Episode 149: The Mad Hatter’s Excuse: “I Never Promised You Tea”
They showed up, smiled, made space at the table—maybe even poured the first cup. But when you reached for connection, commitment, or care... they pulled back with a shrug: “I never promised you tea.”
In this episode, we explore the painful pattern of mixed signals, false hope, and emotional bait-and-switch.
Through the lens of Wonderland, we unpack what it means when someone acts present but refuses responsibility for your hurt.
Let’s talk about what happens when the Mad Hatter keeps talking in circles—and how you can finally stop waiting for the tea that was never coming.
