You’ve decided you’re ready for therapy—congratulations! But just as you’re about to dive in, boom: the roadblocks appear. In this episode, we extend the conversation from Minidose 15 and tackle the barriers that can make opening up in therapy feel like an uphill battle.  

We’re busting some common limiting beliefs (LBs):  

It’s cliché

I’m being overdramatic

My problems don’t matter

You’ll judge me

I don’t know how to be any different



If I had a dollar for every time I heard these, I’d be rich. These beliefs didn’t appear out of nowhere—they’re part of how we’ve learned to cope. But holding onto them can keep us stuck.  

Therapy isn’t about being perfect; it’s about working with your defenses, not against them. Defenses are there to protect us, but when they’re too high, they can block us from real growth. What does it mean to trust the process, to let yourself be cared for, to ask questions, and to build new neural pathways? It’s not easy (even for me, and I’ve been in therapy for years), but the other side is worth it.  

We’ll explore what it looks like to name your fears, acknowledge the negative side effects of staying guarded, and step into a space for healing—not perfection.
