About this listen

Welcome to Therapy Made Me a Feminist, a channel where evidence-based practices meet personal stories about healing and finding joy after adversity. I’m a feminist therapist with lived experience navigating a high-demand religion—specifically, the LDS (Mormon) church—and I’ve seen firsthand how it affects mental health. Growing up in a mixed-faith family and conservative regions like Utah, Oklahoma, and Texas, I’ve faced my own mental health challenges, especially the weight of religious and cultural shame. In this series, I explore the impact of patriarchal systems on mental well-being, especially within tightly-knit, faith-based communities. My goal is to uncover how these systems, often deeply ingrained in conservative cultures, affect all individuals, regardless of gender. From my therapeutic work here in Utah to my personal journey, I’m here to share insights on healing and navigating these complex spaces.© Brittany Bullen 2024 Hygiene & Healthy Living Personal Development Personal Success Psychology Psychology & Mental Health
Episodes
  • “Allyship” and “the Man” wants to keep us divided! (PG)
    Dec 6 2024

    Psst… “the Man” wants us too busy fighting to notice who really holds the power! Let’s talk about allyship, privilege, and standing up for each other.

    Why do so many people find allyship so hard? Because “the Man” doesn’t want us to stand together. This episode dives into how systems of power keep us divided, what holds us back from being better allies, and the gradual steps we can take to show up for marginalized communities. Real talk, tough love, and tangible actions—it’s time to build bridges and fight back.

  • “Selfishness” and “the Man” wants you to feel guilty for prioritizing your own needs! (PG-13)
    Dec 1 2024

    Psst… “the man” wants you to think self-love and selfishness are the same thing!

    Let’s talk about how “the Man” weaponizes guilt to keep us small and compliant—especially as women. From the idea that prioritizing yourself is somehow wrong, to how consumerism profits from our insecurities, we’re diving into why selfishness isn’t the dirty word they’ve made it out to be.

    In this episode, we unpack:

    ✨ How being labeled “selfish” has shaped our behavior (and held us back).

    ✨ The connection between guilt, consumerism, and compulsive spending.

    ✨ Real-life stories that illustrate why putting yourself first is a revolutionary act.

    ✨ Practical ways to take back control: thrifting, spending in alignment with your values, and embracing authenticity unapologetically.
