NLP695 - The Most Overrated Therapy/Self Help Sayings (And Why Some Are Actually Harmful)

In this episode of The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast, Craig Smith (licensed clinical therapist) and I dive into some of the most overused and overrated therapy sayings floating around in the personal development and mental health space. You've heard them before—those catchy little one-liners that get thrown around like gospel in therapy rooms, Instagram posts, and coaching circles. And sure, some of them hold truth… but others? They're either wildly overhyped, taken out of context, or in some cases, straight-up harmful when misapplied. Craig brings the clinical perspective, breaking down why certain sayings might sound nice but don't hold up in real-world application. I toss in my two cents from a coaching standpoint, sharing where I've seen clients latch onto these quotes like life mottos—only to end up more confused or stuck. We're not here to bash therapy or growth work—we're both all in on that journey—but sometimes the real work starts when you stop hiding behind a quote and start asking what actually applies to you and your healing. Whether you're in therapy, coaching, or just working on becoming a better version of you—this episode will challenge you to think a little deeper about the words you live by.   Next Level Experience Waitlist - Join Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide Hight Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide   Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Submit your questions to be featured on our Q&A episodes.   Order from Cured Supplement Order from Legion Supplements and get 20% off your first order by using discount code: keynutrition   Connect with us on Instagram Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition
