  • Bonus Episode - The Bell Jar: When the Life You’re Supposed to Want Becomes a Cage

    In this bonus episode of The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast, Dr. Allison Sucamele reflects on Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar through a psychological lens, exploring the invisible distance between a life that looks full of possibility and a life that no longer feels inhabitable. From Esther Greenwood’s haunting fig tree to the suffocating metaphor of the bell jar, this episode examines choice paralysis, perfectionism, identity fragmentation, social expectations, and the quiet cost of performing the version of yourself that receives the most approval.

    What happens when you achieve what you were supposed to want, yet still cannot breathe?

    A brief literary reflection on the difference between visible functioning and internal freedom, and the parts of ourselves still searching for air.

    Content note: This episode discusses depression, suicide, psychiatric hospitalization, and emotional distress. In the U.S. and its territories, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

  • # 173 - Resentment: The Silence That Keeps the Score - The Psychology of Self-Abandonment, Swallowed Boundaries, & the Quiet Cost of Keeping the Peace
    Jul 8 2026
    Ask The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast a Question. Text the TLT Pod today.What happens when patience quietly becomes self-abandonment? In this episode of The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast, Dr. Allison Sucamele explores the psychology of resentment, self-silencing, swallowed boundaries, emotional suppression, sunk-cost thinking, and the hidden cost of repeatedly tolerating what hurts. Drawing from psychological research on attachment, emotion regulation, relationship patterns, and self-silencing, this episode examines why intelligent, compassionate people often stay quiet, over-accommodate, and keep giving long after something inside them has begun keeping score.Sometimes resentment is not simply anger. Sometimes it is the delayed recognition that keeping the peace required abandoning too much of yourself.Disclaimer & Crisis SupportThe Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast is for educational, informational, and reflective purposes only.
