We avoid tension because it feels like a problem, but it's often the thing trying to grow us. In this episode, Josh unpacks why anxiety, fear, and frustration aren't warnings to retreat—they're invitations to step into the moments we've been dodging.

Drawing from Freud, Marcus Aurelius, and real patient stories, he shows how pain ignored turns inward, but pain faced becomes movement. The obstacle isn't blocking your path—it is the path.

In this episode, Josh talks about the point where therapy ends and practice begins. He unpacks the idea that "we do enough therapy until we can engage in the yoga" — that healing only takes us so far before we have to stretch back into life.

Whether it's showing up differently in a relationship, taking a risk at work, or finally slowing down, growth only happens when we move between the two worlds — therapy and practice. Because if you're only doing therapy, you're hiding. And if you're only doing practice, you're bypassing.

The magic is in the stretch between the two.

In this first episode of Punk Rock Therapy, Josh Jonas lays down the foundation — fast, raw, and no BS. He explains why therapy and insight, while powerful, aren't enough on their own to move your life forward. Growth doesn't come from endless self-understanding — it comes from action.

Whether it's having the hard conversation, clearing your schedule, or finally stepping into the thing you've been avoiding, movement begins with courage. Insight might help you see the problem, but only courage builds the scaffolding for real change.

A quick, hard-hitting reminder: you don't need to wait until you're fully healed to move forward — you just need to take the next step.
