#445 | How Therapy Has Become Weaponized
In today’s episode of Evolve Ventures, we get real about how therapy talk and “healing culture” can be used to shame or manipulate. From family criticism to AI-fueled excuses, we break down what true growth looks like and how to protect your peace when others can’t handle it. Your healing isn’t up for debate. Own it, protect it, and make therapy sacred again.
