53. A Therapist’s Guide to Dating: What to Pay Attention to Before You Get Attached Part 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What can you actually learn about someone in the early stages of dating, before you're emotionally invested enough to explain everything away? Dating advice tends to focus on the obvious red flags. But some of the most useful information about a potential partner isn't hidden at all. It's tucked inside the stories they tell, the way they describe past relationships, how they respond when you disappoint them, and what happens when they're wrong. In this episode of Collectively Unhinged: Therapy T
52. Not Every Therapy Session Has to Be Deep (Part 2) When Is It Time to Go Deeper? (opens the original)
Read excerpt

In this episode of Collectively Unhinged: Therapy Talk , therapists Courtnie and Melissa explore the psychology of identit
49. Why Do I Care So Much What People Think? (Part 2): Learning to Trust Yourself (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, we explored why we care so much about what other people think. This week, we're taking the next step: How do we stop letting those opinions control us? In Part 2, therapists Courtnie and Melissa discuss why "just stop caring what people think" is unrealistic advice and what actually helps. We explore self-trust, the inner critic, boundaries, values, and how to become less dependent on external validation without becoming emotionally disconnected from others. If you've ever struggled t
