    2 Things Can Be True At Once
    Feb 14 2026
    Two Things Can Be True at Once: Grace & Accountability, Space, and Real-Life Adulting In this episode of Therapy Is Life, the crew talks through a core therapy idea: two things can be true at once, and life is usually more nuanced than “either/or.” They unpack paired truths like “I’m trying my best and I need to do better” (grace vs. accountability, perfectionism, and SMART goals), “I miss you and I need my space” (boundaries, decompression, and showing up better for family), and “I didn’t cause all my problems, but I’m responsible for solving them” (venting vs. staying stuck, solution-based thinking, and being careful who you vent to). They also discuss pushing through struggle, prioritizing yourself while still loving family and friends, the limits of texting versus real connection and body language, and how someone can be angry with you and still love you—especially in parenting, consequences, and avoiding enabling. 00:00 Welcome to Therapy Is Life: ‘Two Things Can Be True’ (DBT mindset) 01:41 Trying Your Best AND Needing to Do Better: The Power of ‘And’ 03:14 Grace vs Accountability: Perfectionism, SMART Goals, and Realistic Standards 06:48 When ‘My Best’ Becomes Mediocre: Limits, Effort, and Raising the Bar 10:57 I Miss You… AND I Need Space: Affection Styles & Healthy Boundaries 12:35 Decompressing to Rejuvenate: Alone Time, Parenting, and After-Work Resets 16:34 I Didn’t Cause All My Problems… But I’m Responsible for Solving Them 23:07 I’m Struggling… AND I’m Still Going to Try: Progress, Perspective, and Purpose 25:28 The Grind: Growth Only Comes Through Struggle 26:11 Detours, Perspective, and When Struggle Gets Lighter 28:03 Struggle as Proof You’re Alive: Finding the Opportunity 28:46 Self-Care Isn’t Selfish: Prioritizing Yourself as a Parent 30:51 Redefining “Prioritize” + Scheduling Time for People Who Matter 33:49 Texting vs Real Connection: Why Face-to-Face (and Calls) Matter 36:12 Reading Kids Beyond Words: Body Language, Safety, and Deeper Check-Ins 37:45 Angry But Still Loving: Tough Love, Consequences, and Accountability 39:04 When Love Goes Too Far: Enabling vs Teaching Responsibility 46:37 Modeling Healthy Emotions + Final Wrap: Two Things Can Be True Learn more about your ad choices.
