The Pressure to "Fix" Everything in Therapy
Is therapy supposed to fix you? In this episode, we challenge the common misconception that therapy is about quick solutions and instant results. We unpack the “fix me” mindset—where it comes from, how it shows up in sessions, and why it can actually get in the way of deep, sustainable healing.
Together, we explore the discomfort of sitting with emotions, the cultural obsession with productivity, and what it really means to grow through therapy. As therapists, we also share what it feels like to hold space instead of having all the answers—and why that space can be the most healing part of the work.
We reframe therapy as a process, not a product—highlighting how small, consistent shifts lead to real transformation over time. Whether you’re a therapist or a client, this episode invites you to release the pressure to have it all figured out and lean into progress over perfection.
