Why do we avoid the things we know are good for us?
In this episode of Second Hand Therapy, we unpack the frustrating loop of knowing the right choice—and still doing the opposite. From routines, gym habits, food decisions, and productivity, to deeper conversations about permission, self-worth, and why “doing the task” isn’t the same as experiencing it.
We talk about:
• All-or-nothing thinking and overwhelm • Why productivity becomes identity • Permission, avoidance, and self-sabotage • Therapy insights on routine, ADHD, and motivation • The difference between function and joy • Why caring for yourself feels harder than it should
This is a raw, funny, and uncomfortable conversation about self-discipline, self-compassion, and why taking care of yourself isn’t as simple as “just doing it.”
We’re not therapists. This is not professional advice.
