Reframe Of Mind

Most of the podcasts I’ve listened to about mental health are stuffy or I feel like I’m being talked at by a therapist trying to sell a course. These guys aren’t selling anything, thankfully. They are sharing their all to relatable experiences with mental health and talking to professionals for guidance. They’ve explored the subjects in depth and they haven’t glossed over things like most seem to. It’s kind of like listening in on someone else’s therapy sessions. Several times now they’ve cracked me up even though the subject matter is kind of dark.

I loved the Nathan Parker episode!! Time to listen to more human stories and get an understanding of acceptance and moving forward!!! Thank you for the inspiration!! ♥️💫

As someone who lives with ‘high functioning anxiety’, the hosts and stories on this show are extremely relatable. Especially that feeling of being driven by the need to prove your worthiness, and ultimately hiding your unhappiness behind a ‘mask’ you wear for everyone else. I don’t feel so alone hearing them talk openly about their experiences. And really appreciate that they focus on finding solutions instead of dwelling on the problem, but doing it in a way that also acknowledges that the problem is real instead of pretending it doesn’t exist. The way they make fun of ‘toxic positivity’ in their sketches is hilarious.

I believe that there comes a tipping point after which lack of sleep, negative thoughts, anxiety tip the scale so far that it’s no longer possible to restore that chemical balance naturally - and hence the need for SNRIs and SSRIs. Ultimately the trick is to detect the early on set of depression, the negative thought patterns, the subtle changes in mood and the associated disruptive sleep patterns before that point. Unfortunately depression often happens almost in stealth. Having the tools, the knowledge and the network is critical and podcasts like this are important
