291. I Did the Work, So Why Am I Struggling Again?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You think you've graduated. You did the therapy, you learned the skills, you got to a good place, and you stayed there for a while. Then one week knocks you flat, and you're spiraling again, and the first thing you think isn't "this is hard," it's "what is wrong with me that I'm back here?"
Join Anna and Tim as they pull apart the fantasy of having arrived, the one where doing the work is supposed to mean you never struggle again. They get into the two clients who came back last week, embarrassed they'd backslid, why the skills sometimes vanish the second you actually need them, and why a rough week is not proof you're back at square one. Real growth was never about feeling nothing. It's messy, and most people are way further along than they let themselves see.
This Episode Covers:
- The fantasy of having arrived and why it leaves you feeling like you failed.
- Perceived backsliding versus actually backsliding.
- Why you can know all the skills and still go right back to the spiral five seconds later.
- What real growth actually looks like when it's messy instead of perfect.
- How we laser beam onto the one screw up and forget the rest of the bucket.
- The compare and despair that social media keeps feeding.
- Asking what if nothing has gone wrong, and life is just happening.
- The shift from "why am I still dealing with this" to "how am I dealing with this differently".
Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
Mad love!
