Ditch the Shrink - The Podcast for people who are done being fixed.

At the Expense of Ourselves | DITCH™ PodcastWhy do we hand over our power to everyone else? We treat doctors, therapists, diets, bosses, even Instagram like they’re the experts on our lives. Meanwhile, we stop listening to the only voice that matters — our own. This episode of DITCH™ takes on the fine line between true responsibility (getting up, drinking water, taking care of yourself) and false responsibility — the endless habits, routines, and “handovers” that keep us dependent and chained.It’s time to separate what actually feeds you from what only feeds the system. No new year required. No permission slips needed. Just one small step to take your power back — starting now.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ditch-the-shrink-the-podcast-for-people-who-are-done-being-fixed--6583780/support.

Why Do We Trust Therapy More Than Ourselves? | DITCH™ the Shrink This is DITCH™ the Shrink — the conversation that calls out what nobody else will. I’m Crush, and today we’re asking: why do we trust therapy more than we trust ourselves? From the desperate first day we walked into therapy, to the glow of validation, to the Whisper Phase where that quiet inner voice says, maybe you already know enough — this episode digs into the question that could change how you see yourself. Therapy isn’t the enemy, but staying stuck in it forever might be.

The Seduction of Simple: Why We Stay Stuck in Therapy (and How to Break Free) Sometimes we confuse simplicity with stagnation. We call it autopilot. We keep showing up — to therapy, to routines, to obligations — long after they’ve stopped serving us. Why? Because it feels safe. Because it feels easier than asking the hard question: Do I even want to be here? In this episode of DITCH™ the SHRINK, we explore why quitting therapy (or any long-standing habit) feels like stepping into the desert alone, why society labels you a “quitter” for walking away, and why we ignore the very intuition that’s trying to set us free. If you’ve ever wondered why change feels terrifying, or why you keep showing up out of obligation instead of growth, this one’s for you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ditch-the-shrink-the-podcast-for-people-who-are-done-being-fixed--6583780/support.

When Therapy Becomes a Habit – DITCH™ the SHRINK Therapy can save lives, but it can also turn into a habit — a safe loop that feels like progress without real change.
