Ever met someone who says, “I’m just being honest,” but it somehow always feels like an attack?In Episode 23 of Things We Say in Therapy, I’m breaking down the difference between healthy honesty and using “brutal honesty” as an excuse to avoid accountability.We’re talking about communication skills, emotional intelligence, nervous system regulation, and what emotional maturity actually looks like in real relationships.This episode covers:The psychology behind brutal honestyEmotional dysregulation and why people lash outHealthy communication vs identity attacksThe difference between impact and intentionHow to give honest feedback without shamingHow to respond when someone hides behind “I’m just being honest”Setting boundaries around communication stylesThe difference between healthy discomfort and disrespectBrutal honesty can be healthy when it’s rooted in growth, empathy, and emotional regulation. But when honesty is used for superiority, emotional relief, or control, it damages connection and erodes trust in relationships.If you’ve ever:Felt shut down by someone’s harsh deliverySaid something in the heat of the moment and regretted itBeen called “too sensitive”Struggled with conflict in romantic relationships, friendships, or family dynamicsWanted to improve your communication without becoming avoidant or people-pleasingYou’re in the right place.Being honest is necessary for growth.Being harsh isn’t.Tell us why you love the show!Support the show🎙️NEW EPISODES EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY!!

What do you do when someone refuses to see the issue with their behaviour?In Snack Size Deep Dive 11, we unpack one of the most frustrating relationship dynamics: repeatedly explaining your feelings to someone who won’t take accountability.Whether it’s a partner, friend, or family member, being dismissed, gaslit, or met with defensiveness can slowly erode your self-trust. You start questioning yourself. You wonder if you’re too sensitive, you over-explain, you shrink yourself. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: Sometimes they genuinely don’t understand. Sometimes they understand and don’t care enough to change. And sometimes not seeing the issue protects their identity.In this episode, we explore:Why people avoid accountabilityEmotional unavailability and fragile self-imageHow lack of accountability causes cognitive dissonance Gaslighting (and why it isn’t always intentional)The emotional impact of chronic dismissalWhen to stop explaining and start decidingHow to set boundaries that don’t require agreementThe difference between lack of awareness and lack of willingnessThis episode is about self-respect, emotional regulation, boundaries, and choosing what you’re willing to accept in relationships.Tell us why you love the show!Support the show🎙️NEW EPISODES EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY!!

Why does the victim mindset feel so comforting, even when it’s destroying your relationships and keeping you stuck?In Episode 22 of Things We Say in Therapy, we explore the psychology behind the victim mentality, how unresolved trauma turns into identity, and why externalising blame can feel safer than taking responsibility. We break down the difference between real victimisation and subconscious victim mindset patterns, including external locus of control, shame avoidance, defensiveness, emotional reasoning, and trauma responses.If you’ve ever thought:“Why does this always happen to me?”“People are always attacking or misunderstanding me.”This episode will reveal why.You’ll learn:Why the victim mindset starts as self-protectionHow trauma shapes identity and coping mechanismsThe psychological benefits of staying in victimhoodHow chronic externalisation impacts relationshipsWhy accountability can feel threateningThe difference between subconscious patterns and weaponised victimhoodHow to begin shifting toward agency without shameThis is not about blaming people who have experienced trauma. It’s about recognising when pain has turned into a protective cage, and how to gently take responsibility for your healing.If this episode feels uncomfortable, that might mean something resonates.Tell us why you love the show!Support the show🎙️NEW EPISODES EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY!!

What happens when you stop enabling people and start holding them accountable?In Snack Size Deep Dive 10 we explore the uncomfortable truth that emotional honesty and accountability can cost you relationships. When you stop participating in denial, toxic coping patterns, or self-destructive dynamics, some people won’t grow with you, they’ll distance themselves instead.This episode covers:The psychology behind why accountability triggers shameDefensiveness and withdrawal in emotionally avoidant peopleWhat it means to “hold up a mirror"Why growth can feel lonelyHow outgrowing people is often a painful but necessary part of healing.If you’ve ever been called too intense, too honest, too harsh, or “not fun anymore” after setting boundaries or speaking truth, this conversation is for you.Tell us why you love the show!Support the show🎙️NEW EPISODES EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY!!

Why do you cringe at things you said years ago?Why do other people’s awkward moments make you physically recoil?Cringing is a self-conscious emotion tied to shame, belonging, and internalised social rules. It’s your nervous system trying to protect you from rejection.In Episode 21 I talk about:What cringing actually is from a psychological perspectiveWhy you judge yourself so harshly for past behaviourWhy you cringe at other people for being “too much” or "embarrassing"How conditional approval shapes your internal rulebookThe shame loop: rumination, replaying, and self-punishmentWhy highly empathetic or hyper-vigilant people cringe moreHow to respond with curiosity instead of self-abandonment and judgementCringing doesn’t mean you’re cruel. It means something inside you learned that being visible wasn’t safe.This is honest, uncomfortable self-reflection.

Most people don’t think of themselves as emotionally dismissive.But if emotional conversations make you uncomfortable, overwhelming, or something you instinctively try to shut down, this episode will help you figure out why.In Snack Size Deep Dive 9 of the Things We Say in Therapy Podcast, we explore emotional dismissiveness: what it actually looks like, why it happens, and how it’s often rooted in a low tolerance for emotional discomfort rather than a lack of care.This episode covers:What emotionally dismissive behaviour looks like in everyday interactionsWhy minimising, fixing, joking, or changing the subject is often a defence mechanismHow dismissiveness slowly damages emotional safety and connectionThe difference between being dismissive because you care vs being emotionally unsafeHow to catch yourself in real time without shame or self-abandonmentHow to respond to other people’s emotions with validation instead of avoidanceDismissing emotions doesn’t make you a bad person. It’s usually something you learned to survive.But awareness is what turns protection into connection.If this episode feels uncomfortable, that’s not a problem, it’s information.

Most people believe they’re empathetic, but real empathy isn’t comfortable or easy.In Episode 19 of Things We Say In Therapy, we unpack performative empathy: the habit of wanting to appear caring, supportive, and emotionally safe without actually being present in someone’s pain.We explore why many people:Perform care instead of offering real emotional connectionRush to fix, reframe, or validate to avoid discomfortUse toxic positivity and emotional bypassing without realisingStruggle to sit with difficult emotions, their own and others’We also break down the psychology behind performative empathy, including nervous system avoidance, people-pleasing, trauma responses, and fragile self-identity, expanding on how these patterns quietly damage connection and trust in relationships.This episode isn’t about blame or shame, it’s about awareness, emotional honesty, and learning how to sit with discomfort instead of escaping it.If this feels uncomfortable, that’s the point.

In this episode of Things We Say in Therapy, we unpack a topic that almost nobody talks about: how to tell the difference between normal human emotion and a genuine mental health decline.After years of struggling with severe depression and anxiety, I found myself terrified of uncomfortable emotions. Every wave of sadness, irritability, or stress felt like a threat, like I was slipping back into a version of myself I fought so hard to heal from. If you’ve ever felt scared of relapsing or confused by your own emotional patterns, this episode is for you.We explore: • The difference between moment-based emotions and pattern-based decline • Why discomfort feels unsafe after recovery • The “two-week rule” and how professionals assess decline • Subtle warning signs most people overlook • What functional decline looks like • Emotional discomfort vs emotional danger • Journal prompts and self-reflection questions • When to reach out for help and how to know you’re not just “being dramatic”This is a compassionate, practical deep dive into emotional intelligence and mental health awareness, designed to help you understand yourself without fear.

If you’re struggling with self-esteem, body image, or feeling unattractive, this episode is for you. Feeling ugly or unattractive is one of the most painful and universal experiences, but it doesn’t mean anything about your worth. In this mini “snack-size deep dive,” we explore the psychology behind feeling ugly, why beauty standards affect us so deeply, and how to untangle your self-worth from your appearance. You’ll learn how to name the feeling, challenge your inner critic, practice self-validation, set healthier boundaries with self-comparison, and rebuild a more compassionate relationship with yourself. Your worth has never depended on your appearance.->See links below to find me on other platforms and to support the show!<-Tell us why you love the show!Support the show🎙️NEW EPISODES EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY!!

Has anyone ever told you that it's valid to feel burnt out and exhausted just from existing? Just from daily life? It doesn't require a massive traumatic event or having a full schedule to feel like everything is too much. In this new episode of The Things We Say in Therapy Podcast, we explore this underrated feeling in depth. Why, in 2025, hustle culture has been repackaged as "productivity", the overwhelm of constantly having access to traumatic news, comparison culture from social media, and ways to heal and find peace in the chaotic world we live in.

In this episode of Things We Say in Therapy we explore the power of giving and receiving the kind of “bad” feedback that feels uncomfortable but strengthens relationships. We unpack why honest communication matters, how avoiding it fuels resentment, and why emotionally mature connections can tolerate discomfort. You’ll learn how to give feedback with compassion, receive it without defensiveness, and recognise when feedback is being misused. We also explore projection, accountability, and how feedback reveals who is truly safe for deep connection. This episode is a guide to building relationships rooted in authenticity, growth, and meaningful dialogue—while avoiding the traps of over-criticism and conflict avoidance.

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.

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.
