    5 Things We Said in Episode 1 That Most Therapists Won’t Tell You 👀

    Not your average therapist talk. Here’s what we laid down in Episode 1 of Naked Insights:

    1. Healing is a learning journey – We don’t just sit back and “hold space.” We believe you need skills, education, and a plan. You deserve to know how you're healing, not just hope that you are.
    2. Therapy shouldn't be a black box – Most therapists won’t tell you what they’re doing. We want you to understand the strategy behind your healing — not just show up and “talk it out.”
    3. There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach – You’re a system, not a symptom. Your stress, hormones, trauma history, environment, and relationships all matter.
    4. Polypharmacy is a silent pandemic – Too many people are over-medicated. We’re not anti-meds, but we are pro-agency. You should always understand why you’re taking something.
    5. You don’t need to “go to therapy” to heal – If you're self-aware, hungry for growth, and committed to the work, we believe you can access powerful change with the right education, tools, and support

    This podcast isn’t about sitting on a couch for 10 years. It’s about activating real change with naked honesty and insight.
