The Difference Between Actually Being a Good Person and Needing to Be Seen as One

Some of the kindest-looking people in your life might actually be causing harm, and it’s not always obvious. In Episode 16 of the Things We Say In Therapy Podcast, we break down the difference between being a genuinely good person and just trying to appear good. It's a lot more common than you think - but there are signs.

💡 You’ll learn how to:
Recognise when someone’s kindness is a performance
Protect yourself from people who appear “good” but aren’t
Move from performance to authenticity in your own life

This episode is for anyone struggling with self-worth, identity, or understanding toxic relationships. It’s uncomfortable on purpose, but you need to hear it.
