S2E100 - Breaking Subconscious Patterns, Ego Walls & Relationship Cycles | Onion Soup w/ Chad Taylor Pt 1
Onion Soup host Dexter interviews clinical psychotherapist and author Chad Taylor about his book “It’s You. Oh fuck it’s me,” exploring how failing relationships often reflect one’s own subconscious patterns rather than the other person. Chad describes his broad psychotherapy work, his belief that therapy is an ancient, normalized practice, and that most behavior is driven by subconscious programming formed in early childhood (especially ages 0–7). He explains how emotional rejection and other experiences can create protective “walls” (ego/egocentricity) that block connection, and frames healing as returning to the true self by making the unconscious conscious. They discuss why many people seek healing around midlife (around 35–40), Chad’s own rock-bottom transformation after achieving external success, and how therapists support clients through ego-death-like change without imposing judgment, touching on projection, archetypes, spirituality, and interconnectedness.
