This week on Get Psyched, we’re diving headfirst into the social media swamp: where oversharing, self-awareness, identity, and performance all start to blur together. From the way therapists show up online to the fine line between self-disclosure and selfish disclosure, we share why we will likely never "go viral."Amy calls in live from what can only be described as “Purgatory” as she navigates selling her house, major life transitions, and the emotional chaos of moving in… with a BOY. Naturally, that opens the door to a bigger conversation around discomfort: why we avoid it, how we accidentally amplify it, and what happens when we stop trying to outrun it.Also discussed: friendly neighborhood thieves, emotional spirals, internet personas, and one simple reminder that might change your week: don’t add to your suffering.If you’ve ever found yourself overthinking, over-posting, overreacting, or just trying to stay grounded while life gets weird...this episode is for you.Today, the gals explore:🎙️ The difference between self-disclosure and selfish disclosure🎙️ How therapists and creators perform authenticity online🎙️ Amy’s life update: selling her house + moving in with her boyfriend🎙️ Why discomfort isn’t always something to “fix”🎙️ How we unintentionally compound our own suffering🎙️ The oddly wholesome reality of neighborhood crimeIf you made it to the end, you know we love you.
