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: [email protected] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/ For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg#TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast Hosted on Acast.

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 jokes00:49 - Father Christmas enters the chat01:33 - When your partner hates your jokes02:14 - Christmas presents and control arguments02:43 - Brutal “you’re middle-aged now” voice note04:49 - Abbey vs Peter: who actually does everything?06:15 - Mental load of Christmas and invisible labour09:19 - Bike-gate: the kids’ disastrous Christmas bikes11:20 - Secret Santa spiralling out of control15:18 - Why midweek Christmas parties are a nightmare17:04 - Unexpected deep dive into nature documentaries20:48 - Emotional moment about losing a family pet22:12 - Why Christmas is about slowing life down25:29 - Agony Ab: clashing family Christmas traditions31:17 - Agony Ab: unmatched effort in Christmas gifts35:03 - What Christmas is really about35:52 - Final Christmas chaos and sign-offEmail: [email protected] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/ For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg#TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast Hosted on Acast.
