On today’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in Portugal answering your dilemmas and diving into absolute chaos from start to finish. From debating whether three dogs is officially too many, to navigating awkward step-parenting moments and hilarious regional slang debates, this episode has a bit of everything.

The pair also open up about family life and the emotional reality of living far away from parents as one listener asks for advice about moving abroad and missing home. Abbey shares why she’d never cope with the kids leaving home while Peter reveals the lockdown-style family traditions he’d bring back in a heartbeat.

Elsewhere, the GCSE debate returns as listeners question whether Abbey really got the grades she claims, leading to a full-on interrogation from Peter and the team... Are we saying foul play?

There’s also audiobook confessions, freezing cold Portugal weather complaints, and a lot of discussion about “freezies”, “ice pops” and “lolly ice” that completely derails the episode.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are still living their best lives in Portugal… although Pete’s ego may have taken a slight battering after a disastrous mixed doubles tennis tournament against a group of senior citizens who absolutely wiped the floor with him. Abbey wastes no time exposing exactly what went wrong, including Pete’s “respectful” approach that spectacularly backfired.

The couple also dive into one of the biggest causes of relationship tension — diary planning. From golf days and family logistics to who really controls the calendar at home, Abbey explains why every single plan now has to go through Claire before marital chaos erupts. Plus, the gang discuss relationship “icks”, going upstairs two at a time, hobbies couples should definitely keep separate, and whether Oasis officially counts as “Dad Rock”.

Elsewhere, Abbey reveals her surprising obsession with David Beckham’s vegetable garden and chickens, Peter reminisces about Oasis nostalgia and Desert Island albums, and the team debate what books and music they’d take if stranded forever. There’s also talk of reality TV habits, holiday advice, and why some things are simply better enjoyed without your partner.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Pete is flying solo for a special AMA throwback as he revisits some of the funniest, weirdest and most chaotic moments from old episodes of the podcast. With Abbey away volunteering at an animal shelter (genuinely), Pete dives into a handpicked selection of listener questions that completely derailed the pod over the years.

We hear the infamous debate over whether it’s “Shaba” or “Shava”, a surprisingly deep conversation about losing memories, and one listener’s dilemma about open relationships that sparks absolute carnage in the studio. Pete also looks back on romantic getaway recommendations, cowboy fantasy holidays, and one brutal question that forces him to choose between golf… and Abbey.

As always, the AMA questions are carrying the podcast once again and Pete admits looking back at the old clips genuinely had him crying laughing.
