Ep. 45 - Reverse Psychology Part 1: It All Started with Freud

Welcome to TheTherapy Podcast, where psychology meets real life. In this first episode of our Reverse Psychology series, we go back to the roots—Sigmund Freud’s groundbreaking concept of resistance. Why do people reject advice that’s good for them? Why do we sabotage our own progress? Freud called it resistance, and it laid the foundation for what we now understand as reverse psychology.

Whether you're a therapist, psychology student, or just curious about how the mind works, this episode unpacks the sneaky mental defense mechanisms that shape our choices. You'll learn how resistance shows up in therapy, in relationships, and in everyday life—and how recognizing it is the first step toward change.
