Dog-Sitting Disaster, Family Admin Meltdowns & The Gym Crush Story That Spiralled Out of Control

About this episode

<p>On this week’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, the chaos levels are high as Abbey and Peter dive head-first into your most unhinged dilemmas. From a roommate who’s become <em>painfully</em> healthy to the point of policing pizza boxes, to a listener who’s accidentally become the full-time admin assistant for her entire extended family, the pair tackle the everyday dramas we all know too well.</p><br><p>There’s also a gym crush spiralling out of control, awkward encounters, debates about deep-pan pizza, and a dog-sitting saga involving a completely unapproved full-body shave. Abbey and Peter share stories from home, from early-morning parenting struggles to haircut catastrophes that still haunt them.</p><br><p>In the Agony Abs, no topic is off-limits — whether it’s boundaries, compliments, or why saying “no” is borderline impossible for some people. It’s relatable, ridiculous, and very Therapy Crouch.</p><br><p>If you want to submit your own Agony Ab, hit the link below!</p><br><p>00:00 – Intro</p><p>01:15 – Wholesome lorry-driver compliments</p><p>02:17 – Shout-out to the HGV listeners</p><p>03:00 – Parenting chat: kids at Jingle Bell Ball</p><p>04:20 – Music tastes and the Will Smith surprise</p><p>05:30 – The “painfully healthy” roommate dilemma</p><p>06:20 –Abbey’s mission to get fit for 40</p><p>07:12 – Pizza guilt &amp; balance chat</p><p>08:24 – The great “deep pan vs thin crust” debate</p><p>10:00 – Everyman x Franco Manca Theory</p><p>10:29 – “Family Secretary” dilemma</p><p>13:16 – Gym crush chaos — sliding off the bench</p><p>14:35 – Why we can’t say “no” to people</p><p>16:10 – Do compliments offend or flatter?</p><p>22:07 – The outrageous dog-sitter grooming incident</p><p>24:12 – Kid haircut horror stories</p><p>25:28 – Swimming, gym chat and closing laughs</p><br><p>Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com&nbsp;</p><br><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast</p><br><p>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch&nbsp;</p><br><p>Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/&nbsp;</p><br><p>For more from Peter</p><p>https://twitter.com/petercrouch</p><br><p>For more from Abbey</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancy</p><br><p>Our clips channel</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg</p><br><p>#TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
