The Genie Queen’s Speech - A Therapy Crouch Christmas Broadcast

On today’s Christmas special of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter deliver their very own festive spin on the Queen’s Speech, reflecting on a year of love, growth and the tiny habits that quietly drive us mad. From red flags that shout to beige flags that whisper “this will annoy you forever”, they take a wry look back at the moments that have tested relationships up and down the country. There’s talk of mismatched sexual rhythms, questionable storage discoveries, awkward festive gatherings and the universal comfort of knowing someone else is also silently judging something small. With music confessions, language debates and plenty of wine-fuelled wisdom, Abbey and Peter remind us that none of us are perfect — but if things get tense this Christmas… just grow up. 🎄🍷 Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch  Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/  For more from Peter https://twitter.com/petercrouch For more from Abbey https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancy Our clips channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg #TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

“I’ll Be Taking It Straight Back!” - When Gift Effort Isn’t Matched at Christmas & Work Party Drama!

On today’s festive episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are fully embracing the chaos as Christmas Eve quickly approaches.  With Santa hats on and patience running low, the pair dive headfirst into the realities of family life at the most wonderful (and stressful) time of year. From mismatched gift expectations and Secret Santa dramas to the unseen mental load that comes with organising Christmas, nothing is off-limits. The episode is packed with classic Crouchy banter, including a Christmas bike purchase that didn’t quite go to plan, debates over midweek work parties, and why men somehow always miss the brief when it comes to presents. In the Agony Abs, listeners write in with festive dilemmas ranging from clashing family traditions to the disappointment of unbalanced effort under the tree. There’s laughter, a few emotional moments, and plenty of honest reflection on what Christmas is really about — slowing down, being together, and surviving the madness as a family.  A proper festive Therapy Crouch, just in time for the big day. 00:00 - Chaotic Christmas energy and opening jokes 00:49 - Father Christmas enters the chat 01:33 - When your partner hates your jokes 02:14 - Christmas presents and control arguments 02:43 - Brutal “you’re middle-aged now” voice note 04:49 - Abbey vs Peter: who actually does everything? 06:15 - Mental load of Christmas and invisible labour 09:19 - Bike-gate: the kids’ disastrous Christmas bikes 11:20 - Secret Santa spiralling out of control 15:18 - Why midweek Christmas parties are a nightmare 17:04 - Unexpected deep dive into nature documentaries 20:48 - Emotional moment about losing a family pet 22:12 - Why Christmas is about slowing life down 25:29 - Agony Ab: clashing family Christmas traditions 31:17 - Agony Ab: unmatched effort in Christmas gifts 35:03 - What Christmas is really about 35:52 - Final Christmas chaos and sign-off Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch  Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/  For more from Peter https://twitter.com/petercrouch For more from Abbey https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancy Our clips channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg #TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

A listener reveals their unwavering refusal to lose a silent bin war, while Abbey questions whether passive aggression might actually be a personality trait. The duo also tackle a plumbing nightmare caused by YouTube-fuelled confidence, debate feminism and dating preferences in a refreshingly honest Agony Abs, and respond to a powerful message about managing health anxiety with practical tools that genuinely help.

Abbey’s WILD Night Out: Wreath Making Turned Into Total Carnage & Pete’s Hilarious Reaction!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter catch up after what can only be described as one of Abbey’s most chaotic nights out to date. What began as a wholesome wreath-making afternoon quickly spiralled into margaritas on empty stomachs, vomiting on the motorway, missed shopping trips and a Christmas wreath riding shotgun in a car full of regret. Peter shares festive family highlights from the Jingle Bell Ball, including kids desperate for screen time, a painfully awkward Ed Sheeran TikTok moment and Abbey discovering Peter modelling a velvet suit… in the women’s section.  There’s diary drama, Christmas planning chaos, Boxing Day cinema arguments and Peter accidentally attending a maths open day instead of seeing the boys. In listener messages, we hear everything from wedding day disasters and unforgettable anniversaries to Elf on the Shelf horror stories that absolutely cross the line. There’s dating dilemmas, reflections on getting older, turning 40, and why margaritas simply cannot be trusted.
