“A Reminder To Be Kinder” - The Christmas Mental Health Talk & Is Exercise Underrated Therapy?
On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, things get a little deeper as Abbey and Peter dive into the realities of kindness, mental wellbeing and the pressures so many people face around Christmas. After a chaotic catch-up covering moustache disasters, school fairs, lost bank cards and black cab etiquette, the pair open up about a listener whose brave email sparked emotional conversations within his family. From there, Abbey and Pete explore the small habits that genuinely boost your mental health — from exercise and fresh air to connection, community and a good old-fashioned belly laugh. We hear stories about black cab confessions, health anxiety breakthroughs, childhood hymns, nostalgic comfort TV, and why talking is still the most underrated therapy of all. In the Agony Ab section they tackle group-chat politics, Christmas gifting dilemmas and thoughtful vs. sexy presents… with some truly unhinged suggestions from Pete. It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and a gentle reminder that kindness — to yourself and others — goes further than you think. 00:00 – Intro 00:35 – Shacket debate 01:42 – Moustache meltdown 03:03 – Hiding the length 03:49 – Kindness backed by science 05:28 – A reminder to be kinder 08:29 – Times tables chaos 08:44 – Christmas stress begins 13:07 – The emotional listener email 17:11 – Exercise and mental health 21:29 – Men and vulnerability 27:02 – Black cab therapy 29:14 – Health anxiety & hypnotherapy 32:49 – Comfort TV cures 37:42 – Sexy vs sentimental gifts 47:12 – Group chat politics: Side-chats, snubs & accidental screenshots.
