    What to Do When You’re Spiraling Heart2Heart with Harry | Hallucination Hotline

    In Episode 3 of Hallucination Hotline, Harry leads a real and practical conversation about something almost everyone experiences but very few people are taught how to handle. What to do when you are spiraling in the moment. This episode is not about generic advice like “just meditate” or “think positive.” It is emotional first aid for the exact minutes when your body feels alarmed, your thoughts start racing, and everything suddenly feels urgent and personal. Harry explains what a spiral really is. A stress response that hijacks your attention because your brain is trying to protect you, even if it shows up in a messy and exhausting way. Then he shares a simple and repeatable five minute reset plan you can use anywhere. On a train. At work. Before sleep. Before a presentation. After a difficult conversation. You will learn how to calm your body first because you cannot logic your way out of panic, how to interrupt the thought tornado without arguing with it, how to name the fear underneath the noise, and how to reduce the moment to one stabilizing next step that helps you feel steady again. This episode does not promise you will never spiral again. It gives you something more useful. A way to move from “I am spiraling” to “I am steady enough to continue.”

    Your Inner Critic Isn’t You: Rewriting the Voice in Your Head

    In this episode of Hallucination Hotline, Alex and Jane pick up the phone to talk about a voice that almost everyone has… but hardly anyone questions: the inner critic. You know the one.It shows up right when you’re about to try something new, right when you’re proud of yourself, or right when you finally sit down to rest. It doesn’t always sound cruel—sometimes it sounds responsible. It sounds like “realism.” It sounds like motivation. It sounds like, “I’m just trying to keep you sharp.” But somehow, after you listen to it for long enough, you don’t feel inspired… you feel smaller. More tense. More ashamed. Like you’re always chasing a version of yourself you can never quite reach. Alex and Jane unpack why that happens—how the inner critic often forms from old experiences, pressure, comparison, perfectionism, and survival strategies that once helped you cope… but now just keep you stuck in a loop of self-doubt. They explore the difference between self-improvement and self-attack, and why so many high-achieving people confuse the two. Because pushing yourself isn’t the same as punishing yourself. Then they shift the episode from insight to action:You’ll learn a simple, practical approach to separate your identity from your thoughts—so you can stop treating every harsh sentence in your head like a fact. Alex and Jane share a step-by-step way to “catch” the inner critic in real time, name what it’s trying to protect you from, and rewrite it into an inner voice that’s actually useful: calmer, kinder, and more honest. Not fake positivity. Not “just be confident.” But something grounded—like an internal coach that helps you grow without crushing you. This episode is for anyone who: overthinks everything after a conversation feels guilty when resting hears “you’re not doing enough” even on productive days struggles with perfectionism, people-pleasing, or constant comparison wants a healthier relationship with their own mind By the end, you won’t just understand the inner critic—you’ll have tools to turn it from a bully into a coach, and a reminder you can come back to anytime your mind gets loud: You are not the voice in your head. You’re the one who hears it. If this episode helps, share it with someone who’s been too hard on themselves lately because sometimes the most powerful mental health shift isn’t doing more… it’s learning how to talk to yourself differently while you do it.
