“First, confession time: I’m 33 and male. That said, I recently stumbled across this show and have been really loving it. I recently finished hiking the Appalachian Trail, have gone through a major breakup, am living with my parents, am trying to move back to the city and trying to restart my career. Needless to say my emotions, feelings and thoughts have been all over the place and this show has been very grounding and edifying. It helps so much to know that I’m not alone in my struggles and that there is science and studies behind why I feel the way that I do. The most helpful thing I’ve heard recently that I’m really sticking to is reframing ‘anxiety’ as ‘excitement’. Both feelings use similar neural structures and pathways to communicate these sensations and so, with one’s wise mind, one can choose to interpret their life data in a more positive way. It’s the end of the year as I write this and so it’s a terrible time to try to get a job or move and that has caused a heaviness and sinking feeling for me to deal with; however, I have more power in how I perceive my situation and this show is a wonderful tool in my psychological quiver.”
