Why are parents encouraging when their adult children want to seek therapy, but they don’t want to ask it for themselves? Especially if the reason their child is going is due to parental trauma.

I agree that the phrase "toxic" has become grossly overused. There have been many moments when I have talked about something that happened and have had someone immediately tell me that the person was being toxic. A bad moment does not equal toxicity. It equals being human and making a mistake.

I really hope more people catch on to stop from overusing this phrase in a serious manner. Jokes all day, sure. To be serious about it, though? Pass.

The truth is always easier to recover from than deception. Deception is easier to recover from if it's rectified directly, and the amount of time that passes is inversely connected to how wasy recovery might be.

Unfortunately, no one talks like this. Unless it's a parent or teacher to a child 😔

Mended Light: sorry for this minor & nitpick point: can y'all set design a little better? Arrange those books among the shelves in the background more so it doesn't look like a building project or like people are moving out or like it's a fake background. Thanks! 😝👍

As for the content - always great and helpful and thank you, that's why I watch / listen & subscribe!
