    When Your Head and Heart Don’t Agree: 2 Therapy Tools to Help You Feel More Aligned

    Have you ever understood something in your head, but still not felt it, believed it, or acted on it? You can know something logically. You can analyse it, rationalise it, talk it through and understand exactly what you “should” do. And yet somehow, you still feel stuck. Your emotions haven’t caught up, you just don’t quite believe what you know. Or you keep finding yourself acting in ways that don’t match what you know In this episode, we’re exploring the head-heart gap, the space between what you think and what you actually feel, believe and do. This is very common in therapy I (Carly Ann) talk about how logic alone don’t always create the change you crave I also share two practical therapy tools to help you begin closing the gap between your head and your heart If you’ve ever thought, “I know this in my head, so why can’t I just feel it or act on it?”, this episode is for you.

    Can’t Stop Obsessing Over Someone? Listen to This Soothing, Grounding & Honest Talk from a Therapist That Has Been There Too

    Can’t stop replaying a conversation, analysing someone’s behaviour, or obsessing over what they really meant? Whether it’s an ex, a boss, a friend, or someone else in your life, relational interactions can sometimes take over your entire mind, making it hard to focus on anything else. In this episode, I’m speaking directly to the part of you that is overthinking, spiralling, checking, replaying, and searching for answers. The part of you that feels like you need to figure this person or situation out before you can finally feel okay. As a therapist who has been there too, I offer a soothing, grounding, and honest conversation to help you step out of the mental loop. This isn’t about pretending you don’t care or forcing yourself to “just move on.” It’s about understanding what’s happening, calming the obsession, and gently bringing your attention and your power back to where it belongs: with you. If this situation is consuming your thoughts and you’re ready to regain control, clarity, and emotional freedom, this episode is for you.
