The Things I Do No One Else Sees – Part Two

This Might Be Therapy: Chapter 4 Episode 7 “Cold One Chris vs The Machine”

In this raw and unfiltered episode of This Might Be Therapy, Chris pulls back the curtain on the pressure of trying to survive modern life while carrying the weight of leadership, fatherhood, mental exhaustion, and personal rebuilding at the same time. From managing the chaos of Fresh operations at Sam’s Club to navigating ADHD overload, burnout, strained workplace dynamics, and the emotional isolation many men silently live with, this episode becomes a reflection on what happens when the world expects constant performance from people who are already running on empty. Chris speaks openly about: * The reality of leadership pressure * Feeling judged while still learning and growing * Mental health in blue-collar and retail management culture * Fatherhood under stress * Veterans adapting to civilian “battlefields” * Why the garage became a sanctuary * The emotional cost of always being “the strong one” * Reclaiming identity beyond mistakes and labels This episode is for the exhausted providers, overwhelmed managers, struggling fathers, veterans, and anyone silently trying to hold life together while the world keeps demanding more. Sometimes the strongest thing a person can do… is tell the truth out loud.

This Might Be Therapy — Episode: “The Things I Never Planned to Lose

After months off the mic, Chris Tigges returns with one of his most vulnerable episodes yet. In “The Things I Never Planned to Lose,” he opens up about the hardest chapter of his life so far — losing his home, fighting to keep his business alive, and trying to hold it all together while rediscovering what love and faith really mean. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a testimony. A story about marriage on life support that somehow found a heartbeat again. About walking through eviction with dignity. About learning that faith isn’t about never falling — it’s about trusting God enough to stand back up. If you’ve ever carried the weight of being a father, a husband, or a man who refuses to quit — this one’s for you.

The Things I Do No One Else Sees – Part Two

In this follow-up to one of the most personal episodes I’ve ever recorded, I open up about the battles I’m fighting right now — the ones nobody sees. From navigating the VA claims process to living with the physical toll of past exposures, from silent family tensions to the invisible work of holding a household together… this is the side of strength that doesn’t look like power. It’s the quiet, unacknowledged labor of showing up every single day, even when no one says thank you, even when you’re exhausted, even when it would be easier to walk away. If you’ve ever felt unseen in the middle of your own fight, this one is for you.

This Might Be Therapy: While You Were Waiting: Fatherhood, the Fight, and the Long Road Back

After a long pause, I’m back—and not with a “everything’s perfect now” story. This is the truth about where I’ve been, what I’ve been fighting for, and why reconciliation with my wife and kids means more than just a fresh start. In this episode, I talk about the work behind the curtain—the concessions, sacrifices, and mindset shifts that have kept my family together—and I connect it to a bigger story fathers everywhere know too well: the fight against a system that measures our worth in dollars instead of days, and treats time with our kids like a privilege instead of a right. From therapy breakthroughs to cabin memories, from alienation pain to standing your ground as a dad—this is a raw, unfiltered update that reminds you the fight is never just about surviving… it’s about building something worth staying for. Because this is still therapy. And I’m still here. And I’m not done.

The Man Who Carried My Name

Before I was Tigges, I was Delclef. In this special episode, I trace the legacy of Francis Delclef—my Belgian-born great-grandfather who crossed an ocean, fought for a country that wasn’t yet his, and planted the roots of a name that still echoes through me today. This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a declaration of origin. A reclaiming of bloodline. A spoken memorial for the immigrant soldier whose story has been buried too long in silence. If you’ve ever wondered where you come from… If you’ve ever carried pain that didn’t start with you… This one’s for you. 🎖️ Legacy. Bloodline. Identity. 🎧 Listen now.
