S01E03 | MENTAL HEALTH & THE BENEFITS OF COUNSELING
Series Episode 007
Thanks to a Readers Digest article I read when I was a kid, I not only didn't learn how to deal with my anxiety during my parent's divorce but also believed all "self-help" related books, articles, whatever was complete bullshit. (Listen to the PSYCHOBABBLE BULLSHIT episode for more on that!)
In this episode, I discuss the advice in that article that I call "The Ringing Telephone Advice" and how serious my anxiety levels would get while going through my parent's divorce.
Buckle up . .. .this one gets a little bumpy!

RED LIGHT SYNDROME
S01E02 | MENTAL HEALTH & THE BENEFITS OF COUNSELING
Series Episode 006
In this episode I discuss a common emotional phenomenon that goes by many names but that I refer to as "Red Light Syndrome". Born from an experience I had in my early 20's at a music recording studio I was sidelined by this powerful and often paralyzing emotional response to stress. Listen as I walk you through my experience and the key takeaway from it that I learned. Be sure to store this little nugget away and keep it in the back of your mind for later when I come back to revisit this topic in future episodes.
