No Clients Were Harmed!

This week we’re diving into endings. The endings you choose, the endings you don’t, the ones you saw coming, and the ones that hit like a plot twist in a bad Netflix series. We talk about why wrapping things up can feel threatening, why therapists are not immune to the wobble of goodbye and how your last sessions in therapy can quietly become the most powerful ones. We break down what “closure” actually looks like and why your brain suddenly wants to romanticize the very thing you ran away from screaming. That rose-tinted nonsense shows up fast, so we help you spot it before you start texting your ex about “one last coffee”. Then in Spill the Tea, we meet Jack. Jack is planning to propose. Jack is also low-key grieving his single life. Jack is confused, adorable, and basically standing in two emotional worlds at once. We unpack why this happens, why it’s normal, and why ignoring your feelings only makes them shout louder. If you’ve ever struggled with an ending, avoided one, dragged one out, or tried to tidy it up with a bow even though it was a full emotional crime scene… this one’s for you. 💡Hit follow, press play🔊, and maybe tell your therapist 😉. 🎧New Episodes, every second Thursday.   ❤️FOLLOW US: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/noclientswereharmed FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/noclientswereharmed WEBSITE: https://www.noclientswereharmed.com  

Families. We love them, we tolerate them, we occasionally Google “why am I like this?” right after spending a weekend with them. In this episode, Rachel and Eoin explore the roles we grow into (and get stuck in), the emotional reflexes we picked up in childhood, and why going home can make you feel twelve again. They unpack emotional blind spots, unhelpful conditioning, and the weird comfort of familiar chaos. In our Spill the Tea segment, meet Justine, a mum who suddenly sees her own childhood replayed between her daughters. Watching her youngest get quietly left out opens a door into memories she didn’t expect and feelings she never had words for, until now... Warm, funny, honest. Because family dynamics might be messy… but you’re definitely not alone in them. 💡Hit follow, press play🔊, and maybe tell your therapist 😉. 🎧New Episodes, every second Thursday.   ********** ❤️FOLLOW US: INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/noclientswereharmed FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/noclientswereharmed WEBSITE:https://www.noclientswereharmed.com

A quick preview 🔍 of what’s coming this Thursday 27/11… Family Dynamics, Spill the Tea, Nostalgia, Chaos, and Familiar Childhood Roles. Stay tuned 🎧 and maybe bring your inner child with you 🧸🎠🍭.

Welcome to Gender Wars, where communication between men and women feels like a team sport with no referee and constantly changing rules. In this episode, Rachel and Eoin unpack the messy world of gender roles, modern dating expectations, and emotional intelligence (or lack thereof) and why society’s outdated scripts keep us from connecting honestly. From “men don’t talk about feelings” to “women are too emotional,” these labels aren’t just clichés, they’re communication killers. We dig into how gender stereotypes sabotage relationships and how to stop treating emotions like weaknesses instead of human signals. And in our Spill the Tea segment this week... poor Collin is dumped (again) because he’s apparently “too nice.” Since when did kindness become unattractive? Is being a gentleman out of style, or are we just confusing confidence with chaos? 👀 Because the truth is,  it’s not men vs. women. It’s emotional avoidance vs. connection. And honestly, we’re all guilty.

Ever had a fight that started with “it’s not about the bed”… and somehow ended with everything you’ve ever done wrong since 2018? Yeah, us too... In this episode, Rachel and Eoin dive into conflict, why we fight, how we fight, how to fight fairly and gracefully and the difference between healthy conflict and toxic arguing. We unpack: - The 4 conflict styles (and which one’s currently starring in your relationship). - How to argue without destroying communication. - Red flags during arguments that look “normal” but aren’t. - Why silence doesn’t mean peace — and how to actually resolve conflict. And in this week’s Spill the Tea segment, Mary tells us about her younger brother, Sean - fresh out of college, back home with the parents, and perfecting the art of the snarky comment. Let’s just say sometimes… sibling “banter” can feel a lot like emotional warfare. This isn’t a lecture, it’s two therapists being real about emotional regulation, communication in relationships, and why healthy conflict might be the most valuable skill you’ll ever learn. Listen now - and maybe, just maybe, stop fighting about who left the towel on the floor. 🎧 New Episodes every second Thursday. 💡Follow us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/noclientswereharmed Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/noclientswereharmed Website: https://www.noclientswereharmed.com    

Toxic relationships...We’ve all seen them, some of us have been in them, and most of us have convinced ourselves that “it’s not that bad” while quietly losing pieces of who we are.  In this episode, Eoin and Rachel dive deep into the messy, manipulative, and often misunderstood world of toxic dynamics. From love bombing and coercive control to why leaving is so damn hard, we’re unpacking the real reasons people stay and how to start healing when it’s over. Plus, this week's Spill The Tea story is giving… plot twist. Florence is convinced she’s the catch of the century, so when Jack dumps her out of the blue, she’s left shocked, offended and absolutely certain he’s made the biggest mistake of his life. Did he? Expect real talk, zero psychobabble, and just the right amount of swearing. Because love isn’t supposed to hurt and you’re allowed to choose peace over chaos.  🎧New Episodes every second Thursday 🎤 Follow us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/noclientswereharmed Facebook: https://www.instagram.com/noclientswereharmed Website: www.noclientswereharmed.com   

In our very first episode of No Clients Were Harmed, therapists Rachel (Gen Z) and Eoin (slightly older and questionably wiser) kick things off by introducing who they are, how they work, and what you can expect from this podcast. They also set some important ground rules including a confidentiality disclaimer (don’t worry, no clients were harmed or discussed). Then with a mix of honesty, humour & warm approach, they dive into the big one: boundaries, types of boundaries, why they’re so hard to set, how guilt gets in the way, do good intentions matter and what it really means to put yourself first. Plus: This week’s story features  Deirdre, who ran into her ex. He’s looking good, said all the right things… and now she’s wondering: should she go back? Expect laughs, lightbulb moments, and a reminder that setting boundaries doesn’t make you mean, it makes you real. 🧠 New episodes every second Thursday.
