Summary
Couch Talks is the bonus episode of You Need Therapy that comes out every Wednesday where Kat answers questions that listeners send to kathryn@youneedtherapypodcast.com. This week, Kat takes a break from the usual Q&A style to explore our obsession with finding meaning in everything. She reflects on the idea that constantly trying to explain or justify every experience might disconnect us from living fully in the present. She encourages embracing uncertainty and letting go of the pressure to "connect the dots." Sometimes, things just are—and that's perfectly okay.
