Kill The Silence: Episode 11

I didn’t plan this episode. I just hit record. I shaved my face for the first time in a decade, had a mini breakdown, and now I don’t recognize myself in windows. Welcome to healing.This episode’s about therapy. Real therapy. Not the kind where they smile too much and pretend to be your friend. The kind where someone asks the right questions and you actually learn how to deal with your shit.Aside from that I realize that the new podcast software doesn’t have my name and logo on it so I look like a clown at one point in this video because I think it does.Aside from that… I talk about:* Getting blackmailed and extorted by my former therapist for $126,000* Why I still gave therapy another shot* What my new therapist is doing right* What I learned in my second session* How core values get clouded by guilt, pressure, and bullshit* Why clarity beats comfort* And why I’m still not “healed,” but I’m a little better than yesterdayI also rant about overpriced suits, Lululemon discounts, and how much I hate Gumroad’s user interface. It’s a vibe.If you’ve ever been skeptical about therapy, this episode might help you see it differently. Not as a magic wand. Not as a fix-all. But as a place to ask better questions and stop running from the ones that matter.Kill The Silence isn’t a self-help podcast.It’s survival.It’s honesty.And it’s a little bit of chaos — the kind that makes healing feel human again.See you in the episode. — Cody TaymoreKill The Silence This is a public episode.
