Season 6 Episode 14: Hayston Wilson

When you decide to go to therapy, it's usually because you've recognized something has become problematic in your life and it needs to change. Bringing this to a therapist for help is a good start, but assuming the therapist knows what you need can prevent you from taking ownership of your needs and directing sessions to meet your needs best.

Aaron Potratz & Nathan Hawkins are behavioral health experts, licensed counselors, and clinical supervisors with over 35 years of experience. They each own a private group therapy practice and co-own a third one together. Aaron is also a business consultant for therapists in private practice wanting to start, grow, or expand their business.

Today, we seem to spend so much time, energy, and effort chasing insight. Almost anytime that you engage in psychotherapy or counseling, someone will inevitably bring up the idea of having to look into your childhood to figure out why you do what you do. The idea seems to be that we need insight to facilitate change. We seem to think that we can figure out why we do what we do, and then we will be better able to change it. And sometimes, we have light bulb moments. We all love those light bulb moments—but what if they don’t lead to change? In this episode of The Joe Martino Show, Joe unpacks why insight without behavior change is worthless. He challenges the idea that understanding alone is enough, and instead, explores how real transformation happens when we start doing things differently. If you’ve ever wondered why you stay stuck despite knowing better, this episode is for you. Expect practical questions to help you shift from insight to action, and finally move forward.
