why being too self-aware is exhausting

we're going deep and vulnerable on this episode of live a little, as nikki is saying goodbye to a therapist and is exploring what it means to graduate from therapy and trust yourself.

nikki has just finished a year and five months of therapy - 30 to 60 sessions with someone who genuinely got her, after years of bad therapists and therapy at hospital (the place that gave her trauma in the first place). the thing is, she did the work. she got better. she's in a stable place. and now she has to leave.

nikki gets brutally honest about why she went into therapy, the moment she realised that therapy isn't the full antidote and the year she's spent analysing herself microscopically, learning why she reacts certain ways, where her trauma sits, what triggers her hypervigilance.

nikki's closing thought is powerful: you don't need to understand every feeling before you're allowed to feel it.

if you've ever struggled to say goodbye to something that helped you, felt afraid of being without support, wondered if you're self-aware to the point of self-sabotage, or questioned whether you're enough to rely on yourself... this one's for you.
