    Ep. 49 - Q&A Series: “Why Do I Keep Procrastinating? Understanding Avoidance and Getting Unstuck”

    When we procrastinate, it’s not about laziness—it’s about how our brains handle discomfort, boredom, and overwhelm. In this Q&A episode of The Therapy Podcast, we break down why everyday tasks feel impossible, the emotional and neurological reasons behind procrastination, and why self-blame actually makes it worse. You’ll learn practical strategies to start small, build momentum, and work with your brain instead of against it. Plus, discover why procrastination isn’t all bad—it’s a signal, and with the right tools, it can guide you toward better motivation and self-compassion.

    Ep. 47 - Reverse Psychology Part 2: Reactance: Why We Push Back When We’re Told What to Do

    “When we feel controlled, we don’t just resist—we react.” This episode unpacks why we push back, even when it hurts us. Ever feel the urge to do the exact opposite of what someone tells you—even if you wanted to do it before they spoke? That’s not stubbornness, it’s psychological reactance—a deep, wired-in response to feeling controlled. In this episode of The Therapy Podcast, we explore the science of reactance, how it shows up in relationships, therapy, parenting, and everyday interactions, and why even well-meaning advice can trigger pushback. Plus, learn practical tools to lower resistance and communicate in ways that protect autonomy and build trust. Like this kind of insight?

    Ep. 46 - Why Do I Shut Down When Someone Gives Me Feedback? Q&A Mini-Series – Episode 1

    In this first listener Q&A, we dive into a surprisingly common experience: shutting down during feedback—even when you asked for it. Why do we go quiet, get defensive, or spiral into shame the second someone points out something we could improve? In this episode, we break down the psychology of feedback sensitivity, the role of nervous system defense, and how past emotional conditioning shapes our reactions in the present. You’ll walk away with tools for staying open, grounded, and curious—without losing your sense of self. 📘 Want more tools like this? Check out my book The Therapy Toolbox, available now on Amazon.

    Ep. 45 - Reverse Psychology Part 1: It All Started with Freud

    Welcome to TheTherapy Podcast, where psychology meets real life. In this first episode of our Reverse Psychology series, we go back to the roots—Sigmund Freud’s groundbreaking concept of resistance. Why do people reject advice that’s good for them? Why do we sabotage our own progress? Freud called it resistance, and it laid the foundation for what we now understand as reverse psychology. Whether you're a therapist, psychology student, or just curious about how the mind works, this episode unpacks the sneaky mental defense mechanisms that shape our choices. You'll learn how resistance shows up in therapy, in relationships, and in everyday life—and how recognizing it is the first step toward change. 📩 Questions or thoughts?
