Today we're going to revisit the topic of “incongruence.” You know that thing that happens when information, reality and behaviors just aren't lining up? That's incongruence. When this happens, it leaves the body in a state of confusion, anxiety, and even depression.It can be difficult to ask for clarity when you find yourself in an incongruent situation. Oftentimes, trying to have an honest conversation to get to the truth can result in confrontation and gaslighting. Being told to “let it go”, that you're being “too sensitive”, or that that “you're taking things personally” are all manipulative tactics used to avoid providing clarity and plush blame back on you. Trust your gut. Don't let anyone talk you out of it when you know someone is being dishonest, and love yourself enough to step away from situations or people that are unhealthy for you.–Please rate, review, and share the show with your friends!Follow me on Instagram at @SoireesInTherapyFollow the show at @SituationshitPodIf you want to work with me, visit SoireesInTherapy.com/Book-Now to book a free 15 minute consultation.Tired of situationships?

I'm so in love with fall. Let's FALL in love with ourselves this autumn (I know that was so corny). This episode, I want us to talk about embracing ourselves so we can escape the people pleasing trap. Those of us with people pleaser personalities may forgo our own wants and needs in order to accomodate others. We're looking for validation, for acceptance, for that stamp of approval. But when you love yourself, like REALLY love yourself, that pressure to be liked can start to fade.–Please rate, review, and share the show with your friends!Follow the show on Instagram @SituationshitPodFollow me @SoireesInTherapyIf you want to work with me, visit SoireesInTherapy.com/Book-Now to book a free 15 minute consultation.Tired of situationships?

Have you heard the term “playing house”? It essentially means that you're doing all of the relationship things but you're not actually in a relationship. Or what I like to call, being the faux girlfriend. It's almost like an audition. You're doing your best at playing the part of their girlfriend to show how great it would be if they actually dated you. Don't waste your energy! You'll find somebody who wants to introduce you to their friends and family, who wants to spend holidays with you, who wants to do their best at being YOUR partner. You deserve it!–Please rate, review, and share the show with your friends!Follow the show on Instagram @SituationshitPodFollow me @SoireesInTherapyIf you want to work with me, visit SoireesInTherapy.com/Book-Now to book a free 15 minute consultation.Tired of situationships?

Hey friends! Welcome back. Today, as you can tell from the title, I've got one question for you: Are you the comfort seeker? It's not a bad thing! Don't worry. It's just something to be aware of. When you're feeling low, what do you reach for? Is it a favorite snack, rewatching that same tv show, or maybe some good old fashioned S-E-X? Whatever it is, remember that it's not the activity that's necessarily the problem - it's whether or not your relationship to it is sustainable and satisfying. Tune in.

Sometimes when we think of “relationships” we only think of the romantic kind. Remember that everything you're learning on this podcast and along your self-worth journey can be applied to all other kinds of relationships.Bullying in friendships can be hard to see. It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that to be somebody's bestie you have to back them up at every turn. Supporting somebody you love does not mean always agreeing with them. A real friend will be honest with you and will allow you to be honest with them.–Please rate, review, and share the show with your friends!Follow the show on Instagram @SituationshitPodFollow me @SoireesInTherapyIf you want to work with me, visit SoireesInTherapy.com/Book-Now to book a free 15 minute consultation.Tired of situationships?

For a lot of us, we don't necessarily learn until later in life that our value doesn't come from the outside. Especially as women, we're taught that one of our most desirable skills is people pleasing. I finally stepped away from living for everyone else's approval and I feel so free.

This episode was inspired by a recent coaching session. For a long time I let others determine my worth. If you're anything like me (and you probably are) you're waiting for external validation. Let's put the SELF in self worth, right? Don't dim yourself or be smaller or change your values in order to be chosen. Assess what you really want and then start auditioning people to see if they fit in your life, not the other way around.–Please rate, review, and share the show with your friends!Follow the show on Instagram @SituationshitPodFollow me @SoireesInTherapyIf you want to work with me, visit SoireesInTherapy.com/Book-Now to book a free 15 minute consultation.Tired of situationships?

I'm here to share a story, today. After spending ten, maybe eleven years in situations I'm finally in a place where I can see them coming. That wasn't time wasted, though.

Go where you're wanted. It might sound obvious but it's not. Start noticing how the people in your life make you feel. Are you fighting for attention? Are you silenced? Maybe it's time to stop worrying about getting affection from people who are withholding and instead choose to spend time with people who value you.–Please rate, review, and share the show with your friends!Follow the show on Instagram @SituationshitPodFollow me @SoireesInTherapyIf you want to work with me, visit SoireesInTherapy.com/Book-Now to book a free 15 minute consultation.Tired of situationships?
