Episode Description

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it’s an Ask Me Anything classic as Abbey and Peter dive headfirst into your pre-Christmas dilemmas — from hilariously petty neighbour disputes to relationship double standards and DIY disasters that spiral completely out of control.

A listener reveals their unwavering refusal to lose a silent bin war, while Abbey questions whether passive aggression might actually be a personality trait. The duo also tackle a plumbing nightmare caused by YouTube-fuelled confidence, debate feminism and dating preferences in a refreshingly honest Agony Abs, and respond to a powerful message about managing health anxiety with practical tools that genuinely help.

There’s plenty of laughter, a few brutal truths, and some unexpectedly heartfelt moments as the pair reflect on parenting worries, mental health, and why sometimes knowing your limits is the real win. Plus, a festive teaser hints at what’s coming for the Therapy Crouch Christmas special.
