Confessions from the Couch: What Your Words Reveal

Ever wondered what your therapist really thinks when you say, “I don’t want to take up too much time,” or “I should be over this by now”? In this episode of Strategies for Living, Dr. David and Lauren Leon McMillian explore common client phrases that can secretly hinder healing — and what they actually reveal about self-worth, vulnerability, and emotional growth.

Drawing from a recent TIME magazine article, they unpack therapy misconceptions, discuss the true nature of the therapeutic relationship, and share compassionate strategies to replace self-gaslighting with self-awareness. From the importance of crying and confidentiality to the spiral nature of healing, this conversation invites you to reflect on how your words can either block or boost your progress toward wholeness.
