    018 Too Ashamed for Therapy? Why We Avoid Counselling
    Dec 5 2025
    In this sit.discover.change podcast episode, Gary (a counsellor) and Jon explore the hidden reasons people avoid counselling — from deep shame and fear of judgment to pride and the belief that “therapy is only for the weak.” Jon shares what it was like to walk to his first session, testing the waters with “safer” topics before daring to speak about what really brought him there.

    They talk about internal battles, banned thoughts, and the strange tension of paying to share things you’d rather keep hidden. They also unpack how church and Christian culture can add extra pressure to look “sorted,” why so many people wear an “I’m better than you” mask, and how that fuels loneliness and isolation.

    As Gary and Jon reflect on mirrors, masks, and the hope of being truly known, they show that healing isn’t about becoming “perfect” or fully “fixed,” but about being less alone with what you carry and a little kinder to yourself along the way.

    017 Absent Parents | The Ache You Don’t Outgrow
    Nov 2 2025
    In this moving conversation between Gary and Jon, the two explore the emotional impact of absent parents — both physical and emotional absence — and how those early experiences continue to shape us as adults.
    Gary opens up about his dad’s absence and its long-term effects, while Jon reflects on growing up in a home where presence didn’t always equal connection. Together, they unpack how childhood patterns influence the way we love, parent, and relate to others.

    Gary and Jon dive into the realities of grief: why presence deepens loss, how absence creates a different kind of pain, and the practical work of making moments that become our legacy. We discuss family dynamics, father figures, generational disconnect, and learning to be emotionally present—even when it takes effort. A compassionate, plain-spoken conversation about love, loss, and living fully. 🎙️🕯️
