Description
Feelings I'd Rather Not Podcast explores the everyday patterns, triggers, and quiet uncomfortable truths that shape our mental health. From personal and professional experience, with a Masters in Psychology, Mental Health & Well-Being, Tash blends psychology with real-life reflection. We unpack topics that require discomfort; self-sabotage, emotional regulation, people-pleasing, boundaries, and inner criticism. Through simple tools and guided self-inquiry, listeners learn how to understand their reactions, build emotional awareness, strengthen self-trust and confront those uncomfortable realisations within ourselves and our lives. Whether you love psychology, are curious about your own mind or are on a road to self-discovery and acceptance, this podcast offers a grounded space to feel seen, gain insight, and reflect on things you may never have paused to consider. The Feelings You'd Rather Not are the reflections we avoid, the patterns we repeat, and the truths that change everything.
