Episode 51: "Well My Therapists says"...What Happens When Good Advice Works and When It Goes Rogue.
Podcast: The Nearly Normal PodcastPublished On: Tue Mar 17 2026
Description: Therapist-approved tools. At times, questionable execution. Zero regrets. You've heard it before—"My therapist says I need to set boundaries," or "My therapist says I need to honor my feelings." Good advice. Solid tools. But somewhere between the therapy room and real life, things get... creative. This week, licensed therapists Kate and Nina take a satirical look at the therapeutic strategies they genuinely teach—and the wildly inventive ways people have weaponized, misapplied, or creatively reinterpreted them. From boundaries used as shields to self-care used as an excuse, this episode is equal parts educational and laugh-out-loud real. If you've ever caught yourself saying "well, my therapist says..." to justify something questionable, this one's for you. In this episode: The therapy tools that work—when you actually use them right How good mental health language gets hijacked in relationships What therapists are really thinking when you quote them back at them Tips you can actually use (seriously, these work) New episodes every week. Free advice, real talk, 20 minutes. The Nearly Normal Podcast is hosted by two licensed therapists with over 20 years of combined counseling experience.
