In this episode of Things We Say in Therapy, we explore why so many people avoid healing, even when their mental health struggles affect their daily lives and relationships. From stigma and generational beliefs to fear of vulnerability, emotional numbness, and bad therapy experiences, we break down the real reasons healing feels terrifying. We also look at how chaos and self-sabotage can become a comfort zone and why suppressing emotions only makes them worse. Finally, I share gentle, practical steps to start facing difficult feelings safely and with self-compassion. Healing is messy and difficult, but it’s possible and you deserve it.

In this episode of Things We Say in Therapy, we break down why we get offended and why, in reality, nothing is ever truly personal.

We explore the psychology behind taking things personally, how the ego tries to protect our self-image, and how projection shapes the way people see each other. You’ll learn how to emotionally detach without becoming apathetic, build inner peace, and stop wasting energy on other people’s opinions.

Through self-awareness, empathy, and emotional maturity, you can begin to respond rather than react and finally stop letting external validation or criticism control your peace.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, overly sensitive, or easily offended, this episode will help you understand why and how to change it.

🎧 Listen now if you want to learn how to stop getting offended and start living freely...

Welcome or welcome back to Things We Say in Therapy! In this episode we are diving into the hidden emotion that we sometimes don't even know we are carrying around with us. It can cause a multitude of other problems including anxiety, depression, a fear of being seen and so many other things. The first step is to acknowledge it. In this episode I'll guide you through how it could be quietly shaping your life in ways you don't even know, and how to get through it. I hope this episode is helpful and valuable for you!

Welcome to Things We Say in Therapy, a podcast where we deep dive into things that need to be spoken about and reflected on in order for us to thrive. 

This is a mental health, psychology and self-growth podcast that goes beyond the basics, like why shame feels so heavy, why self-compassion is so difficult, and how to navigate difficult areas of the relationship you have with yourself and others. We will chat about the lesser-known corners of mental health, and deep dive further into the topics you may already know of. 

This show is for anyone who wants to understand themselves and others a little bit better, I’ll share some real psychology, some personal stories, and hopefully give you something to reflect on. So, if you want to self-reflect with me and maybe learn some things along the way – hit subscribe, turn notifications on and come and join me every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. See you there!

Things We Say in Therapy is the podcast that dives into the quiet corners of mental health no one talks about—but everyone experiences. In this episode we dive into why we always want what we don't have; why we're constantly chasing things that we think are going to make our lives better, only for that feeling of novelty to fizzle out a week later. We talk the psychology of desire and the desire cycle, fear of missing out (FOMO), why we are taught that buying more things will make us happy and how internal growth and gratitude will ultimately change this cycle.
