Your Therapist Needs Therapy 130 - New Year, Same Capitalism (or "Why Resolutions Never Work")
This week Jeremy shares some insight on the ins-and-outs of New Year's resolutions. He looks at resolutions as a modern control ritual that turns exhaustion, seasonal biology, and systemic burnout into individual failings. Jeremy talks about how capitalism repackaged ritual rest into productivity theater and self-surveillance that reliably produces shame and repeat consumers. This episode dismantles the myth of the “fresh start” and highlights that real change comes from safety, support, and a systemic approach to creating lasting change.
