This week Robbie and Jordan chat about catastrophic thought spirals, anxiety, and some of the strategies we use to snap ourselves out of the self-reinforcing feedback loops where catastrophizing and RSD intersect.

Call to listeners: how do YOU deal with an anxiety spiral? Let us know in a voicemail!

The Dharma Bums vs. The Promo-Industrial Complex - Episode 25

This week Robbie and Jordan go in without a topic and come out with a great episode. Robbie debriefs about her recent retreat and her new relationship to the Dharma, Jordan gets deep on typography and the new Twitter font, and we discuss our favourite coffee mugs. We also vent some righteous anger about untimely reach suppression on social media, unpack the idea of ADHD people performing well under pressure, and speculate about what not talking for a couple weeks might do to our heads.

Production and music by Jordan Lane.
