But I've found that I can have a lot of self-awareness about a situation and know perhaps what the circumstances were that were leading to me believing something or feeling a certain way, and yet still when I sit down with a therapist, I'll find myself bawling those emotions just because I understand it doesn't mean that I have allowed those emotions to be expressed.
Ever wondered if therapy is really worth it? Bridget Phetasy and Jeren Montgomery dive into this very question in an eye-opening episode of 'Factory Settings'. Both hosts open up about their personal experiences with therapy, shedding light on how it has shaped their lives. Jeren, an associate marriage and family therapist, shares what drove him to enter the field, while Bridget reflects on her own therapeutic journey from childhood to adulthood.
They discuss the difference between merely understanding your emotions and truly expressing them, and how therapy can help bridge that gap. The duo also tackles the tricky process of finding a good therapist, offering practical tips to make the search a bit easier. They explore the idea of intellectualization as a defense mechanism and why it’s crucial to look at subconscious patterns that dictate our actions.

By sharing their stories, they highlight how therapy can be a valuable tool in addiction recovery and in navigating life’s many challenges. If you've ever been resistant to therapy or thought it might be useless, this episode might just change your mind.
