Why We Resist Advice: A Deep Dive with Graham and Martin

Perhaps they think they haven't got an issue. So it's always trying to look for validation as to why they haven't done the things that they probably deep down do know.
Ever wondered why it's so tough to take advice, even when it's good for us? In this episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst tackle this very question with their signature blend of humor and honesty. Martin's forgotten microphone leads to some unexpected laughs and a quirky Eurovision debate, but the heart of the episode is a serious exploration of human behavior.
Graham and Martin discuss why we often resist advice, preferring to come to our own conclusions about change. They highlight how therapy can help foster an internal desire for change rather than just dishing out advice. The conversation also touches on the importance of self-reflection and peer support in the recovery journey. By the end, you'll have a better understanding of why we seek validation for our actions and how we can better support each other without pushing unwanted advice.
This episode is both enlightening and entertaining, offering a fresh perspective on the complexities of human nature.
