And How Does That Make You Feel?
Welcome to And How Does That Make You Feel? — an AWKN podcast that ungatekeeps what really happens in therapy. No fluff. No psycho-jargon. Just straight-talking insights from inside the therapist’s chair.
Each short episode gives you real tools, real stories, and practical takeaways for the stuff you're actually dealing with — anxiety, ADHD, relationships, burnout, trauma, identity, and everything in between.
This isn’t therapy. But it might just be the next best thing.
Hosted by the team at AWKN, a premium online therapy platform.

EP 31 – Why Do I Feel Like I Have to Explain Myself All the Time?
If you’re always over-explaining, justifying, or trying to be “understood” — this episode is for you. We explore how people-pleasing, fear of judgment, and past invalidation can create a loop of chronic self-justification, and how to break free.
