Caitlin Harrison commonly hears clients and people in her life describing themselves and their needs as "too much".

Listen in as Caitlin dives into societal pressures, systemic barriers, and her own experiences with privilege as a white therapist.

Out of Session with Kindman & Co. Episode 3: The Fear of Being Too Much

Why does change feel so impossible sometimes? In this eye-opening episode, we explore the powerful metaphor of the elephant who remains tethered by a flimsy rope—not because it can't break free, but because it believes it can't.
Discover how your childhood survival strategies may have transformed into adult limitations, and why understanding these "mental ropes" could be the key to profound personal growth. Through relatable stories like "Johnny" who found refuge in gaming as a child but struggles with intimacy as an adult, we examine how our early adaptations shape our lives in ways we rarely recognize.

Ask the "magic question" that dissolves self-judgment
Replace shame with science-backed self-compassion
