Therapy Bingo: Phrases We Have Heard in Sessions

Breakthrough the Couch Season 2 Episode 8

In this lighthearted episode, we’re pulling out bingo — therapy style! As therapists, there are certain phrases we hear again and again in sessions, from “I don’t know where to start to “I didn’t do my homework.” Together, we playfully go through some of the most common client expressions, why they show up so often, and what they can reveal about deeper emotions and experiences.

While we keep it fun with a round of “Therapy Bingo,” we also unpack the meaning behind these familiar phrases — like the ways people protect themselves with humor, minimize their struggles, or carry shame about needing help.

✨ Tune in to laugh with us, relate to some of these therapy “greatest hits,” and remember: if you’ve ever said these things in therapy, you are so not alone.
