Ep. 220 “Let Them” Theory: A brilliant strategy or another pop psych bust
In this episode of the RECLAIM podcast, I offer some thoughts on the viral Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. If you’ve ever struggled with self-abandonment, people pleasing, or attachment patterns, this breakdown is for you. Learn how emotional difficulties, relational deficits, and the worthiness wound all shape our response to rejection—and the ways this pop psychology phenomenon can both help, and miss the mark, when it comes to unconscious psychoanalytic dynamics underneath our pain.
