Tough Love Counselling

Grief isn’t just sadness.

It can show up as anger, numbness, exhaustion, withdrawal, irritability, or the quiet realization that life has changed and you are not the same person you were before the loss.

And grief is not only about death.

You can grieve a relationship, a marriage, a future, a version of yourself, or a life that no longer exists.

In this latest audio reflection from Tough Love Counselling, I explore what grief can look like when it has not been fully processed, and why moving forward does not mean forgetting.

COVID changed people more than most realize.

Not always in obvious ways.

For some, it showed up as anxiety that never fully settled.

For others, it was a shift in trust, energy, or how they relate to people.

And for many, it’s more subtle than that.

Just a sense of feeling slightly off.

Less like themselves.

Most of these changes weren’t processed.

They were adapted to.

But what helps you get through a period like that doesn’t always serve you long-term.

In this latest audio piece, I break down:

• How 2020 (and beyond) reshaped behavior and identity

• Why unprocessed change lingers

• And how to start making sense of it

Why Some Men Stay in Terrible Relationships.

Some men tolerate disrespect, ignore red flags, and shrink themselves just to keep someone around.

But loneliness doesn’t disappear when you accept the wrong person. It just gets louder.

Jamieson Cobbs joined a conversation on Anti Burnout Practice about building a therapy practice intentionally, not reactively.

Topics included burnout, infrastructure, AI boundaries, and why structural integrity matters more than speed.

For therapists navigating early-stage practice building, this may resonate.

Tech burnout is not about screen time.
It is about escape time.

If your brain feels fried, it might not need less tech. It might need more honesty.

Overthinking isn’t insight.

If your thinking isn’t leading to action, it’s probably protecting you from uncertainty.

Thinking more doesn’t eliminate risk.
It delays movement.

In this latest audio piece from Tough Love Counselling, I break down:

• Why overthinking feels productive
• How it quietly increases anxiety
• And how clarity is built through disciplined action
