The Man Made Podcast ep. 37. Navigating Worry

Welcome to the ManMade Podcast

This Podcast is with Shawn Helvey and Adam Thorne. Shawn is a licensed behavioral health counselor and Adam is a graduate student in behavioral health counseling. They’ve known each other for over 25 years and talk every week about the trials and tribulations of life.

Navigating the convoluted realm of worry is akin to being a bartender at a cognitive cocktail party where 'Anxiety Ale' and 'Dread Draught' are the drinks du jour. A therapist, in this scenario, dons the hat of a seasoned mixologist, concocting a blend of mindfulness mimosas to help their client sober up from a hangover of hysteria. Amidst the cacophony of crippling concerns and fears that frolic around like unruly patrons at last call, our therapist employs a dash of dark humor as a makeshift bouncer to show these tormenting thoughts the exit. With a serving of sassy repartees and a garnish of gutsy giggles, they venture through the tavern of trepidation, showing that sometimes the best way to tackle worry is to roast it with a toast, chortle at the chaos, and perhaps engage in a metaphorical pub-crawl through the psyche, discovering that the path to emotional sobriety is paved with laughter, a shot of courage, and a chaser of cheer.
