Are we really healing… or just hiding behind it?

In this episode of Dichotomy with Shannon, host Shannon McVey sits down with mental health expert Adam Thorne to expose the uncomfortable truth about the modern self-help and therapy industry.

Have we turned trauma into an identity? Are we addicted to our own pain? And has therapy quietly become a new form of emotional dependency?

Shannon and Adam break down:

• Why “awareness” can turn into obsession
• How therapy can accidentally keep you stuck
• The truth about emotional addiction and trauma identity
• When to move from healing to actually living
• What real empowerment looks like beyond the therapist’s chair

This is a bold, unapologetic conversation that challenges what we’ve been told about healing — and dares you to reclaim your power.
