Episode Description

What was the moment you realized you were spending more time diagnosing your partner than actually working on the relationship?


Dr. Isabelle Morley breaks down why therapy language has become our defense mechanism instead of our healing tool. This conversation goes beyond surface-level awareness into why using clinical terms to explain our pain actually keeps us stuck in the pattern.


What you'll learn:

  • Why the person doing the diagnosing often needs more work
  • How weaponizing therapy speak blocks real intimacy and accountability
  • The negative cycle that makes everyone look pathological when triggered


Dr. Isabelle Morley is a couples therapist practicing Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Her work focuses on helping people stop using clinical language as a weapon and start accessing the vulnerability underneath their defenses.
