On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch: Ask Us Anything, Abbey and Peter tackle the chaos of January head-on as listeners write in with their biggest dilemmas, disasters and frustrations. From the pressure of dating apps and speed dating horror stories to the very real pain of hosting a dinner party that goes completely off the rails, nothing is off limits.
The pair also dive into why January is financially ruthless, whether a proper “reset” is even possible after Christmas, and why trying to improve your mental health with daily walks can quickly turn into rage at the general public. There’s also a fiery debate on gym culture, Gen Z filming etiquette, and whether social media has completely warped how we see ourselves.
In the Agony Abs, the conversation turns more serious as a listener questions a relationship that’s been stuck in limbo for 11 years, raising honest questions about commitment, living apart, and knowing when to draw the line. As always, Abbey and Peter offer straight-talking advice, plenty of laughs, and a comforting reminder that most of us are just trying to get through January in one piece.
