How often have you found yourself mid-story, only to realise you’ve completely lost track of the point you were trying to make? You’re not alone. Sometimes, our words take on a life of their own, and there’s usually something deeper going on beneath the surface.

In this episode, I take a look at why I (and maybe you, too) sometimes talk in circles, what this has to do with defence mechanisms, and the unexpected realisation I had during a discovery call. We’ll also touch on why excitement isn’t always excitement and how a simple question stopped me in my tracks.

Here are the highlights of this episode:

(0.27) Why do we verbally process?

(1.27) FOMO and panic

(3.15) The desire to connect

(5.32) The unexpected fear behind my excitement

(6.49) Denial and the link to reaction formation

Looking at ourselves at this level can feel unsettling, so take your time with it. And if you’d like extra support, I’ve put together a resource sheet to help. You’ll find the link below.
