    What Happens To Us When Mental Health Goes Viral?
    Jan 20 2026
    Listener SubscriptionMost of us assume that consuming mental health content is making us more emotionally intelligent. In this episode, I look at a different possibility: that the way platforms reward and distribute this content may be teaching us how to avoid discomfort more elegantly, not how to stay in it long enough to grow or repair.I break down how algorithms shape what kinds of emotional messages spread, why content that encourages exit and self-protection travels farther than content that asks for accountability, and what happens when therapy language becomes optimized for performance, shares, and watch time.I’m joined by Kati Morton, a licensed therapist and one of the largest mental health creators on YouTube, to talk about what happens not just to audiences, but to mental health itself, when therapeutic ideas become content at scale.We talk about how emotional vocabulary shifts from being a tool for repair to a tool for image management, why discomfort is increasingly framed as toxicity, and what that means for relationships, responsibility, and emotional development.In this episode, you’ll learn:How social media algorithms shape which mental health messages spread and which ones disappear.Why viral therapy content often teaches emotional exit instead of emotional endurance.What it means for relationships and accountability when therapeutic language becomes optimized for performance.If you consume a lot of mental health content and have ever wondered why it sometimes makes things feel easier but not actually better, this episode explains the tension underneath.Xxoo DarcyREFERENCES/RESOURCESwww.alternativescounseling.comwww.KatiMorton.com Why Do I Keep Doing This?: Unlearn the Habits Keeping You Stuck and UnhappyCREDITS“We Need To Talk With Dr. Darcy Sterling” is a Sterling Standard Production.

  • Weaponized Healing: How Emotional Language Became the New Avoidance

    Weaponized Healing: How Emotional Language Became the New Avoidance
    Jan 13 2026

    ⁠Listener Subscription

    Before sadness, guilt, or hurt can register, accountability lands—and therapy language rushes in to protect how we see ourselves instead of staying in the relationship.

    We like to think emotional language makes relationships safer. In this episode, I examine how words like boundaries, triggered, and protecting my peace are often used to avoid accountability without looking like avoidance.

    I break down how conflict quietly gets reframed from “what happened between us” to “how you made me feel by bringing this up,” how this shift changes the power dynamic in a relationship, and why it trains partners to stop telling the truth over time.

    This pattern doesn’t usually end relationships through big fights. It erodes them through silence, hesitation, and conversations that never happen — until distance becomes the default.

    This episode looks at what “staying” actually means in real conflict: not performing calm, not using language to exit, but remaining present long enough to hear impact instead of protecting your position.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • How emotional and therapy language can function as an avoidance strategy in conflict

    • Why choosing “peace” over repair slowly drains intimacy from relationships

    • What it practically means to stay in a hard conversation instead of exiting it
      If you’ve ever felt like your relationship is calm but distant, or like hard conversations keep disappearing instead of getting resolved, this episode explains the pattern underneath.

  • The Part of You That Breaks the Relationship — And The Part That Can Fix It

    The Part of You That Breaks the Relationship — And The Part That Can Fix It
    Jan 8 2026

    Listener Subscription

    In the season opener of We Need To Talk, I sit down with bestselling therapist and founder of Relational Life Therapy, Terry Real, to expose the part of you that’s actually running your relationships. We talk about the “younger part” that learned to survive in your family, how it hijacks your adult brain in conflict, and what it takes to get your wise adult back online when all you want to do is fight, flee, or fix. Terry doesn’t just explain the model—he uses me and my marriage as the live example. If your relationships keep looping the same arguments, this episode is the map.
