You leave therapy feeling clear. Validated. Aware. And a few days later, the stress is still there.

You understand your patterns. You know why you react the way you do. But your body is still tense. Your nervous system is still on edge. Burnout hasn’t lifted.

Therapy creates insight - but insight alone doesn’t change how you live. The relief comes from what happens between sessions, not just inside them.

In this conversation, I explain the two gaps therapy doesn’t close on its own: The space between insight and reflection, and the space between knowing and doing.

We talk about why awareness without embodiment keeps people stuck, how old patterns like people-pleasing and over-functioning survive even after big realizations, and what it actually looks like to practice change in real life.

If therapy has helped you understand yourself, but you’re still tired, this episode shows you what’s missing - and how to use what you’re already learning to create real relief.
