Has Therapy Speak Gone Too Far in Dating?: How Therapy Culture Helps Vs. Gets in the Way of Forming Relationships
About this episode
The episode explores the impact of therapy culture on dating and relationships, discussing the balance between self-awareness and genuine connection.
What happens when the tools meant to help us heal start getting in the way of how we connect? We're exploring the rise of therapy culture and how “therapy speak” is changing the way we approach dating, conflict, and relationships. We discuss why having the right words doesn’t always mean we’re doing the deeper work, how psychological labels can sometimes become a way to avoid accountability, and why not every uncomfortable moment is a sign of a toxic dynamic. We also unpack how to balance self-awareness with openness, curiosity, and the ability to navigate the imperfect moments that make relationships real. Enjoy! - Have you ever had a time in your life where you genuinely didn’t want a serious relationship but still wanted connection and chemistry?
