Therapy with Rick

You say you’re fine. Inside, two voices are at war.
One says “move on.” The other won’t stop dragging you back.
That split is exhausting, and pretending it’s not there makes it worse. Therapy is where you stop pretending and start facing it.

Part of you wants change. Part of you resists. That tug of war is draining. You’ve tried ignoring it, distracting yourself, powering through, but the conflict always returns.
In therapy, you don’t have to silence either side. You learn why both exist, and how to live without being torn apart.

Feeling pulled in two directions?
You don’t need to choose a side. Therapy gives you space to hold both parts of yourself, without pressure to be anything but human.

The Rise of the Outrovert: A New Personality Type

Psychologists are paying attention to a new category of personality: the Outrovert. Unlike introverts, who recharge through solitude, or extroverts, who gain energy from social buzz, outroverts balance both worlds.

TL;DR: The new personality type Outrovert describes people who enjoy connection but avoid overstimulation and drama. They like meaningful conversation but withdraw from shallow interactions. If you don’t fit neatly into “introvert” or “extrovert,” you might just be an outrovert.

Discover the new personality type “Outrovert” — not introvert, not extrovert, but balanced. Learn signs, traits, and take a short self-quiz at Therapy with Rick

Last night we had the privilege of seeing Lewis Capaldi at Co-op Live in Manchester, thanks to BetterHelp’s Ambassador programme. It was an emotional performance.

Lewis spoke openly about the challenges that previously kept him off stage, and what it means for him to be back. What struck me was the resilience, humbleness, dedication and belief in himself behind his story - the way vulnerability, support, and persistence can transform what feels impossible into something hopeful.

As therapists, we often see resilience developing quietly, session by session. To hear it expressed so publicly on stage in front of a capacity 23,500 crowd was moving, and a reminder that conversations about mental health belong both in the therapy room and out in the wider world. Thank you thank you thank you to the programme!

You’ve carried this conflict long enough.
