From the outset, Alexa opened up about her struggles with therapy and medication, emphasizing that finding the right combination was crucial for her healing. She candidly discussed the stigma surrounding mental health, particularly within the military and her cultural background, where seeking help is often viewed as a weakness.

In this episode of Therapists Unhinged, we dive into the concept of manifesting with action, building on our previous discussions about finances, mental health, and mindset. We explore the popular trend of manifesting, which often involves positive affirmations, vision boards, and rituals like lighting candles. While these practices can be beneficial, we emphasize that they must be paired with concrete actions to truly achieve our goals.

We discuss the importance of defining clear, realistic goals and the necessity of taking actionable steps to reach them. Many young adults today are caught up in the allure of manifesting without understanding that simply wishing for success is not enough. We highlight the need for motivation and the willingness to put in the work, comparing the journey to running a marathon, it's about taking one step at a time and being prepared for setbacks.

Throughout the episode, we touch on the significance of surrounding ourselves with positive influences and the impact of our social circles on our mindset and motivation. We also address the challenges of unrealistic expectations and the importance of self-compassion when things don’t go as planned.

Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own goals and the actions they are taking to achieve them, while also considering the lessons learned from setbacks. Ultimately, we remind everyone that manifesting is not just about dreaming; it’s about actively pursuing those dreams with intention and resilience.

In this episode of "Therapists Unhinged", we dive deep into the topic of entitlement mentality and its implications on various aspects of life, including relationships, the workplace, and generational dynamics. We explore the question of whether we are raising narcissistic individuals or if entitlement stems from unmet needs. Our discussion highlights the importance of understanding the backgrounds and experiences of those who exhibit entitlement behaviors, as many may be seeking healing from past traumas.

We celebrate our podcast's success, having surpassed 4,000 views in our first month, and tease upcoming guest appearances.

Throughout the episode, we share personal anecdotes and insights from our experiences as therapists, illustrating how unmet emotional needs can lead to maladaptive behaviors in adulthood. We also touch on the impact of societal changes and the increasing isolation of younger generations, which may contribute to feelings of entitlement.

We encourage listeners to reflect on their own expectations and the work they put into their relationships and lives, reminding them that true fulfillment comes from within and is not simply a matter of entitlement.
