Ep 8: Freud Made Me Do It! Intro

Welcome to Freud Made Me Do It episodes where your defence mechanisms finally get called out… with love, sarcasm, and surgical precision.

Ever wondered why you sabotage love, ghost good people, or scream at strangers in traffic because your barista looked like your mother? Yeah - Freud saw that coming.

In this intro episode I pull back the curtain on the subconscious - that shadowy inner boardroom where all your bad decisions get made in the name of “protection".

This isn’t therapy but it might save you a few sessions.

Expect:

• Brutally funny takes on defence mechanisms

• Real-life examples that’ll make you laugh and cringe

• Zero TikTok fluff - just the psychodynamic gold you were never taught in school

• A clear roadmap out of emotional self-sabotage

• And unapologetic homage to the man himself — cigar, libido, and all.

Let’s make the unconscious conscious — before it wrecks your next relationship.
