Me - Accountability

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I’m on my own.Solo episodes are different. Harder. There’s nowhere to hide when there’s no guest sitting across from you.This one sits inside resentment, projection, and accountability — not as theory, but as lived history.I speak about Pam, my former mother-in-law, and a period of my life where I was reactive, resentful, and convinced someone else was the problem. Messages were sent. Blame was projected. Stories were told — and believed.And then came the moment that this podcast is named after:Where I thought it was her.Oh fuck — it’s me.We sit inside what it costs to hold a story for decades.The bar stool version of 1982 that never ends.The righteousness of being wronged.The protection of staying the victim.Not to fix it.Not to rewrite it.But to notice how strong the pull is to look out instead of in.Amy’s message from the previous episode was simple:The next time you think about judging somebody, stop — and ask yourself why.This episode sits inside that.Where do I still judge?Where do I still protect?Where do I still tell stories that keep me safe but disconnected?We move through social media envy.Engagement frustration.Expectation inside relationships.Even a recent engagement and the quiet tension between authenticity and performance.What does it cost to wear the mask?What does it cost to remove it?We don’t land it neatly.We don’t resolve it.We leave it where it actually lives — inside the tension between awareness and embodiment.The message left for the next guest is this:What is the cost of being fully accountable to yourself — and fully authentic?And how does that cost you in your life?It’s You, Oh Fuck, It’s ME — In Session with a Psychotherapistis a podcast about relationships, self-avoidance, and the shit we pretend isn’t us.Hosted by Chad Taylor, psychotherapist and author ofIt’s You, Oh Fuck, It’s ME.No tips.No fixing.Just honest conversations.WEBSITEINSTAGRAM BOOK SALES: SHOPIFYGROUPS/COURSES: PATREON
